A coworker dispute turns deadly in the morbidly funny new play, The Handless King. Set during the Assyrian Empire, the play follows two humble government employees both tasked with tallying the dead in wake of a recent battle. The problem? Only one of them can keep their job. As the day wears on, truths are revealed, revolution draws near, and someone’s losing limbs before the sun is set.
The world premiere - inspired by real artifacts from 728 BCE - explores a timeless truth: move with the times or get left behind. The high-octane historical fantasy is being presented after a successful development at Amphibian Stage’s 2023 Sparkfest.
