Lantern Theatre

A poet, aspiring to obtain omnipresence, attempts to alter the laws of nature, only to find himself metamorphosing into a goat and being drawn into a loveless marriage.

FULL SYNOPSIS: Catullus, the poet, desires something unobtainable: Omnipresence, to be everywhere at once, to move faster than the laws of nature will permit so that he can establish an experimental form of freedom: sovereignty through motion. Using his words, the poet manages to alter the laws of nature and demolishes boundaries. With the boundaries of his form no longer containing him, the poet begins to metamorphose into a goat, and he starts developing an intense lust for his former lover, Melipryma, a territorial capitalist who wishes to convert her father’s arms company into a sovereign nation, and contain the man who she intends to serve by her side as CFO and King. Catullus must overcome his desires and overcome an inner conflict with a mentor from his youth, the machiavellian John Holder, if he wishes to fulfill his Omnipresent destiny.

FEATURING:
Richard Follin - Catullus
Grant Cleaveland - Andy
Cecelia Bonner - Melipryma
Tony Medlin - Bob, Tatko
Judy McMillan - Irene

The mysterious Council of Pathetiques is suing Sarai Gehrood, the gambling addict, for every last pig on her late father's farm. Sarai must make a difficult decision: forfeit the riches her father left her, or betray her personal code of ethics and seek the wisdom of The Fox Den's Tuckerson. Tuckerson is a philosopher of dubious reputation, who trains the youth of Dana Point to "summon proofs from the aether" and defend their wealth in the city's socially progressive courts.
