This (never performed) 10 minute play is highly unusual in its subject matter and the kind of theatrical experience it generates. The play incorporates the story of Baucis and Philemon in Ovid's Metamorphoses. The elderly couple are rewarded for graciously hosting the Zeus and Hermes, who are disguised as hungry travelers. In my expansion of Ovid's story, the fate of Humankind hangs on whether the couple will show kindness to strangers. I also extend Ovid's story far into the future to give the play more spiritual resonance than Ovid intended in his story. The play has ritualistic elements and considerable mythic power.
