When Thespis steps out of the Chorus during ancient Athens' theater festival and invents a new form of acting, everything changes. As he rises to stardom, even godhood, in the eyes of the public and in his own estimation, rivals and religious leaders seek to bring him down.

A love letter to theater, set in ancient Greece but written as a Shakespearean play, The Tragedy of Thespis features the downfall of the first actor in an exploration of identity, ambition, religion, hubris, celebrity, envy, and performance.
