Laestrygonians

A former Shakespearean stage actor, now a drunken silent movie leading man with a bad reputation, calls on her and tries to convince her to face life

In the course of their hilarious conflict, images of the actor's past emerge

His efforts to help Mary Margaret live force him to deal with his own demons and find a way to cope with the terrible secret that eats away at him like the cannibal Laestrygonians in Homer's Odyssey

Funny and rich in character and language, this powerful and unusual love story is rich with great audition monologues and scenes
