Ancient Sicily. Here is Gelon: the visionary, the dreamer, the theater-lover. Enter Lambeau: a lover, unemployed, in need of a distraction. Imprisoned in the quarries of Syracuse, thousands of defeated Athenians cling by the tenuousest threads. They wither away in the sweltering heat, but all is not lost: they still manage to recite lines from a Greek tragedy when Lambeau and Gelon tempt them with a goat's sacrifice of wine and leftovers. And so an idea is born. Because, after all, you can hate the conquerors but still love their poetry. It's daring. It may be dangerous. But like the best things in life—love, friendship, art itself—it will bring out the worst in human beings, as well as the best in us. What could possibly go wrong?
