Please join us for an evening of Homeric magnitude. Thus, allow us to present two Greek themed plays inspired by Homer’s epic literature, as our celebrated playwrights, cfrancis blackchild and William Hector take us through an odyssey of Ancient Greece via TMZ, the Jersey Shores and the Kardashians shows combined. If you want tragedy, mayhem and profanity, not unlike any Republican debates would offer these days, we got you covered. Come for a great evening of delicious food and drinks and last but not least, Christina Pettersson's magnificent hand drawings will beautifully coalesce with the plays whilst setting the décor splendidly.
