The Peloponnesian Midwest Regional Chorus is tired of placing last in every competition with their ho-hum renditions of heroic myths. Enter Thespis, with a risky idea to cure the Chorus's recitation-related woes: a full theatrical production! With the help of his buddies -- Directus, Settius, Propius, Costumius, and of course, the benevolent Greek Gods -- Thespis takes the chorus's version of The Odyssey from just-OK to jaw-droppingly amazing. The birth of theatre and the plights of the original homeward-bound hero have never been this hilarious!

Told from the perspectives of Robin himself, Maid Marian, and Prince John, this hilarious tale combines three different stories into one -- and with three different endings, leaves it up to the audience to decide which one is true.

| "You get the impression that Will Averill had a lot of fun writing this... I'd compare it to a well-known store's 'extremely chocolatey mini-bites'; tasty morsels of treats that would be far too much to consume in the whole. Avoid literary indigestion and take the short-cut." |
