Trapped in a subterranean prison of her own father's making, the Greek princess Danae is left with nothing but her thoughts and a single dagger given to her for her own suicide. Despite a priest declaring she will birth a heroic son who will kill the cruel king, Danae refutes the prophecy, knowing full well that she could never move on from the loss of her beloved, the naiad Callisto. Danae Under One Million Stars follows a romance between two of Jupiter's female conquests, beginning in their youth and moving into the tragedy of Callisto, a follower of Diana who was exiled for the crime of being raped. It is not long until Danae is Jupiter's new target, and to escape his clutches, she needs a miracle directly from the stars above. She needs a miracle from the long-dead Callisto. (One-Act, 16 Pages)
