Ovid is the famed poet of love in Rome—with more than a passing resemblance to Marvin Gaye—and no stranger to wielding fame and influence. But he's sideswiped by the news that Augustus Caesar has exiled him to the furthest reaches of the Empire. His journey is long and dangerous, and his arrival is totally without ballyhoo. What did he do to deserve exile, and how can he make it right? More to the point, why did he get cancelled? Will he ever get back home? And what will happen to his work? A play dedicated to the exiles of the world, past and present, and to the eternal flame of their hopes of returning. There will be a Q&A after the 3:00 p.m. Saturday, November 12 performance. Based on Ovid's Epistulae ex Ponto Written by Oliver Mayer Directed by Jose Luis Valenzuela Co-produced by Latino Theater Company Tickets $7.
