My husband has written a brilliant play which is a take-off on a famous Greek myth. Its dark, funny and very timely politically but he can't find a theater to take notice of it even though he has sent it around all over the country. What does a person have to do to get a theater's attention? It has a large cast (Greek chorus) and some video but other than that it can be staged pretty simply. It would have to be a theater that would take a risk and isn't afraid of hot political topics. There are so many revivals being done nowadays its a shame such great, creative new works often go unnoticed. Thanks.
