The Eternal Venus

'Bid adeiu, virgin, to your advantages; for a world of pains I conceive now for thee...' Ancient Athens. Psyché, youngest daughter of King Erechtphalus, possesses breathtaking beauty—so much so, that pilgrims arrive from all over Greece for a chance to witness the idealized young woman. But fame often betrays—and the jealous goddess, Venus, has learned of this new idol and the stranglehold she has over her coveted worship. Even worse, Venus’ own son, Cupid, is enraptured by the beauty of Psyché... In this work, Bryan Cropper has crafted an irreverent, satirical drama with his own take on the timeless myth, both poignant and hilarious.
