    A show unlike any other, except one. Google Briseis + Achilles and you get scenes from the terrible film with Brad Pitt, not This is a new version of a very weird but very cool experimental play from the 90s, performed by the director and a volunteer who has no idea what their future holds. It's about myths and why we tell them. It's about fate and how hard it is to look away when bad things happen. It's about women and how often their job is to die, in fiction and in life alike.
