Antistrophe to an Andro-Sapphic Tragedy

by Greta Mae Geiser

"You should have built walls."

"I didn't know I had to."

After allowing a charming stranger onto her beach, Reno must fight to maintain propriety over her identity as everything she once found sacred becomes weaponized against her. Antistrophe is a response, a foil, but not an ending.

Antistrophe to an Andro-Sapphic Tragedy

    “

    Mythic, poetic, ancient and new, Antistrophe is an answer, in this case, to ideas of agency, the male/female binary and other ideas of love and the nature of storytelling. It seems to me the tragedy of inescapable internalized oppression and would make a beautiful, sad and imagistic play.
