EMMY: Or, The Nemesis of Narcissists

Saturday, August 23 @ 3pm

Housing nine characters across three acts in the mythological eternal now in an average place, EMMY features the goddess of revenge Nemesis in disguise as a new-order nymph named Emmy, Zeus fornicating with a different nymph named Evie, Hera enlisting the help of two human siblings to catch her cheating husband, and Narcissus reimagined as a pop star named Rick Luck, with Tiresias the seer as the local radio DJ spinning throughout. All but the most powerful gods get what’s coming to them. Caught in the crosshairs of the action is Echo, a good-natured nymph who wants to do right by her best friend, Evie. But when she starts lying to Hera to protect her friend, she becomes compromised. All the while, neither Evie nor Echo heed Emmy/Nemesis’ warnings that interacting with beings far greater in power than themselves can only bring about their destruction.
