Edged In Purple

GREEK MYTH AND SHAKESPERIAN ROMANCE ENTANGLE IN THIS FATE-FUELED LOVE STORY THAT DEFIES REALITY Three Greek playwrights chose Orestes and Shakespeare chose Perdita to play supporting roles in different dramas. What if they were to meet in a crease in time and fall in love? The mythological Orestes is expected to perform the unthinkable and face otherworldly consequences. In this retelling, when he goes back in time to a joyless, immoral life, he refuses to remain in it. Scarred by the experience, he returns to Perdita, only to find she cannot escape her storybook betrothal to another. Defying well-intentioned advice, they choose their one remaining option and are propelled toward the unknown. The lovers jump off-script to forge their own story far from fantasy in a future filled with modern hazards and stark reality. Their love may be stronger than fiction, but can it survive royal opposition and real-world history?
