He flees, vowing to end his own life. Lily hears of his supposed death and is so heartbroken that she kills herself. With the help of the Gods, Gibbins is able to remove the stain and comes back joyfully, only to find his true love dead. Heartbroken, he vows never to love another for longer than three weeks. Cut to five years later, Gibbins is in college and has fallen head over heels for Angelica Enebrius. Gibbins decides to journey to Hades to receive Lily's blessing and break the curse. What follows is an epic tale of mythological proportions that follows this love to the very edge of the universe, and beyond | |||||

Notes: | The Mirror Repertory Company presents the Young Mirror's No Boundaries Play Festival. The following description is from the show's press release: "Too often, new writers are encouraged to shrink their ideas down in order to get their plays produced. Two and three character scripts with one setting are the norm. Mirror Repertory Company believes that in order to create extraordinary art, writers must work without limits. They have started the No Boundaries Festival, which invited writers to write whatever they wanted; letting Mirror Rep worry about solving the technical problems." | |||||
Synopsis: | The song is un-extraordinary. . .and somewhat uninteresting. | |||||
