A Victorian woman has closeted herself in her home to hide herself from an ancient secret. A woman stumbles into a shop whose glassware contains more than she bargained for. The Greek Eurydice wakes up on a boat with a mysterious man. The Lady of Shallot is discovered in an ancient castle by a ragtag group of adventurers. A trio of post-apocalyptic survivors faces a changed world that contains sphinxes, fairies, griffins, goddesses, and the fearsome Emperor Wolf. In these plays, national-award-winning playwright Mahonri Stewart explores his enchanted side.
