The season is as follows:Octavia By Curiatius Maternus October 13 - October 31, 2011 A World Premiere of the Roman tragedy from circa 90 AD. It is the true story of Octavia and Nero and their doomed relationship. It probably was never performed because Maternus angered the Roman Emperor Domitian for his political writings attacking the ruling class' tyranny and was executed because of it. There is no historical or archeological record of this play ever being performed and it gives us much pleasure to present this play's first stage production.

Will either man be able to put up with the other before the 7 days are up? Will they survive? This World Premiere black comedy explores the underside of familial bonds.
