| The Temple of Dionysus is a comedy about religion, faith, ancient rituals, and partying your butt off. To return to earth, Dionysus, the Greek god of wine and fertility, must convince one man to follow him. Steve has lost it all: his job, his wife, his house, and his faith in the world. Together, they plan a full-blown publicity blitz promoting Dionysus' religion of drinking, sex, and pleasure. Using a top-notch marketing firm and a slew of celebrity and corporate sponsorships, The Temple of Dionysus becomes a pop culture phenomenon. But can Steve live with the world he has created? |
