Witness the world premiere of this lush feast of a drama. Phryne, Queen of Athens, is a striking and inventive character study of the most influential courtesan of Ancient Greece. Best known for her famous trial, the illustrious priestess of Aphrodite captivated the denizens of Athens with her beauty, wit, and devotion to the vulnerable. The audience meets the play's titular character at the precipice of wild celebrity, immediately before she is immortalized by the sculptor Praxiteles in the still-famed statue, Aphrodite of Knidos. As her love for her longtime paramour and renowned orator Hypereides is challenged by the fresh desire of the influential Euthias, Phryne battles betrayal and suffocating mores in her struggle to maintain her faith in the goddess who once lifted her high.
