By Madeleine George<\/strong>
Directed by Kush Sharma \u201923<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Meet Diane, a permaculture gardener dripping with butch charm. She\u2019s got supernatural abilities owing to her true identity\u2014the Greek god Dionysus\u2014and she\u2019s returned to the modern world to gather mortal followers and restore the Earth to its natural state. Where better to begin than with four housewives in a suburban New Jersey cul-de-sac? In this Obie-winning comedy with a twist, Pulitzer Prize finalist Madeleine George pens a hilarious evisceration of the blind eye we all turn to climate change and the bacchanalian catharsis that awaits us, even in our own backyards.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
