For What We Labour

This farce takes place in Ancient Greece, in the House of the Elliminestai. The daughter of the house is pregnant (gasp!) and her attempt to escape her inherited duty is foiled (groan) by the return of the baby daddy (tenterhooks). This original tale is narrated by an expelled member of The Greek Chorus. What can go wrong? Watch as The House dissolves into chaos and hijinx, leaving the housekeeper... to clean up the mess.
