Scripts

a queer dionysia, part one: hippolytos

by Lane Anthony Flores

Synopsis

The first in a trilogy of queer'd Greek tragedies.
This exploration of identity and the forces of love and hate reinvents the myth of Hippolytos and Phaidra with a new perspective centering the queer experience. An experiment in queer theatremaking, the playwright requests that casts be comprised of all-queer storytellers to play a variety of gender identifications across all three plays.

A meditation on the 2nd branch of the Mabinogion, the oldest surviving tetralogy of Welsh myth. After a brutal war with her former husband (a war which claimed the lives of her son and her oldest brother), Branwen, Princess of Briton and Queen of Ireland, has a long-awaited homecoming. Alongside Branwen's story is woven that of Rhiannon of the Birds, her friend and the mother of the great Welsh hero Pryderi; once a princess of Faerie, Rhiannon seeks to find her footing in a world of mortals. This verse reimagination of the mythic characters veers wildly away from the traditional story, seeking instead to illuminate the human darknesses of grief, family trauma, and legacy with a focus on the women of the Mabinogion.
