The One With Violets In Her Lap is a full-length play with music based on the poetry of Sappho.
This queer, modern reinterpretation of a Greek tragedy depicts Sappho confiding in Aphrodite about her latest love interest. Unbeknownst to her, the Goddess is actually listening and may be inclined to assist.
The audience is transported to Ancient Greece to delve into the life of history's first literary lesbian. The play combines contemporary dialogue with Sappho's poetry, highlighting the experiences of women who love women and their quest for belonging in an unfitting world.
