Akhnaton, a pharaoh of the eighteenth dynasty, is about to
challenge everything his people and culture hold dear in The Last
Pharaoh. Before his rule, Egyptians lived a life of slavery under
their rulers, who demanded abject submission. In a culture where
rulers are revered as gods, change comes slowly, if at all. The
pharaoh's grand vision of sweeping social reform is met with
violent hostility by the priesthood and every other power player in
the kingdom. When Akhnaton announces that he is, in fact, as mortal
and fallible as his subjects, his proclamation inspires rivalries
that would enthusiastically put his new mortality to the test.
Neighbors struggle with questions of faith, morality, and the
social order in Winter Dreams, a two-act play that could take place
in any small town in America. When a child preacher stirs up old
drama and rivalries, more questions than answers arise. Is he
really the voice of God, or are other forces at work? The New
Odyssey explores a darker future for humanity. In 1999-as the
flames of the disastrous Third World War cool, and the fourth
apocalyptic global war looms-a college professor summons Hesiod,
Homer, and Shakespeare. He argues passionately to enlist their help
in a bold plan to save humanity from its eventual destruction-at
the hand of womankind. If he can get these three minds from
humanity's past in on his scheme, there may be hope for mankind's
future yet.
