Synopsis: | A lot can happen when a guy spends an eternity rolling a rock up a hill that won't stay put once it has been rolled to the top of that hill. For example, a new team might take over for the gods and outsource the management of the underworld to a private company. Myth and modernity collide hilariously in this clever re-imagining of the Myth of Sisyphus. The underworld will never be the same again! | |||||

Synopsis: | When Stan tapes a square on the ground and declares to his faithful companion, Worker, "this is mine", the stage is set for a fast-paced, insightful, and engaging comedy of ideas. Inspired by Rousseau's observation, "Man is born free, and everywhere he is in chains. One man thinks himself the master of others, but remains more of a slave than they," this play addresses issues in personal identity, economics, politics, philosophy and power and, yet, is light-hearted, fun, and accessible. Requiring only two actors, a role of tape, a stick, and a few rocks, it is easily staged in a variety of venues and tours effortlessly. Winner of the Best New Play award at the 2001 Toronto Fringe Festival, it consistently receives favorable reviews. It is a timeless play that always remains topical. | |||||
