Evening Eucalyptus and Other Enchanted Plays (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9780988323384)

Mystical Plays of Magic, Meaning, and Romance

A self-exiled man finds himself in a mythical Australia. A Victorian woman has closeted herself in her home to hide herself from an ancient secret. A woman stumbles into a shop whose glassware contains more than she bargained for. The Greek Eurydice wakes up on a boat with a mysterious man. The Lady of Shallot is discovered in an ancient castle by a ragtag group of adventurers. A trio of post-apocalyptic survivors faces a changed world that contains sphinxes, fairies, griffins, goddesses, and the fearsome Emperor Wolf.

In these plays, national-award-winning playwright Mahonri Stewart explores his enchanted side.

"[Evening Eucalyptus] does a good job of weaving together several storylines with a sense of magic . . . the last lines of the play linger in the mind long after curtain call . . . an exciting climax and compelling resolution. There is a lot to recommend Evening Eucalyptus for a night of thought-provoking entertainment."
-Kristin Perkins, Front Row Reviewers

"[A] shining achievement . . . Retellings that bring to light new ideas in ancient stories . . . are some of my favorite things in the world, and Stewart pulls this off beautifully!"
-Bianca Dillard, Utah Theatre Bloggers Association

"Mahonri Stewart is a masterful writer . . . and it is always a pleasure to grapple intellectually with what his clever mind produces time after time."
