A beautiful Roman woman named Dynamene, accompanied by her loyal and sardonic servant Doto, resolves to starve herself and follow her deceased husband, Virilius, into the next world.
Dynamene saves them both with the brain wave of substituting Virilius for the stolen body.
Michi Barall is wisely and effectively deadpan as Dynamene; Mia Katigbak refreshingly down-to-earth as Doto; and Joel Carino flush with fine, spurious earnestness as Tegeus.

As the play begins we meet the slave Doto who is watching over her sleeping mistress Dynamene, a young widow of Ephesus, who is on day three of a hunger strike in the tomb of her husband Virilius.
Dynamene sees their mission as the ultimate act of self-sacrifice; Doto is along for the ride out of curiosity and devotion to her mistress.

As Dynamene goes to sleep, Doto is interrupted by Tegeus, a soldier who is guarding some hanging bodies outside.

 A Phoenix Too Frequent and The Harmfulness of Tobacco, a CurtainUp review
A grief-stricken Dynamene (Michi Barall) is at the tomb of her recently-deceased husband with her faithful maid, Doto (Mia Katigbak).
Dynamene misses her husband so much she has resolved to join him sooner by starving herself to death.
Dynamene can't stand the thought of mourning two men she loves simultaneously so she cooks up a plan: her dead husband can save her lover's life; his corpse is exhumed and substituted for the missing one on the tree.

Ridiculously melodramatic and at times humorously artificial, the satire focuses on the wonderfully pretentious widow Dynamene (an excellent Jessica Graham) who is mourning the loss of her husband.
Enter the starry-eyed Tegeus (Charlie DelMarcelle), a soldier/philosopher who is immediately smitten with the beautiful Dynamene.
Unfortunately, while Graham is excellent in communicating the empty, if eloquent, musings of the superficial Dynamene, Hines, whose servant contrasts her mistress' heightened language with her own crude discourse, is simply not very funny.
