Long before the Internet and reality TV made instant celebrities out of ego-crazed fame seekers, a young Greek man named Herostratus walked into one of the Seven Wonders of the World, the temple of Artemis at Ephesus, and burned it to the ground.

Was he angry at the goddess for some misfortune in his life? Was he trying to make some kind of symbolic political statement? Was he angry at his fellow citizens' unfair treatment of him and seeking revenge?

Nah. He just wanted to be famous.

As soon as Ryan Case makes his entrance as Madame Rosepettle, we know from her condescending sneers and uppity manners, or lack thereof, that she is a force to be reckoned with. Just what kind of force, however, remains a mystery. Some violent neuroticism lurks beneath the surface, occasionally betraying the glamorous veneer of wealth that her costuming and mannerisms suggest.

There's one thing you can definitely say about the folks at Balagula Theatre: They are not afraid to take on challenging material. The debut production of the theater's season features the work of playwright Samuel Beckett. A noted existentialist whose dramatic works have been billed "Theater of the Absurd," Beckett's approach to playwriting includes long strands of silence, trailing fragments of words, potent symbolism, minimalist settings, and a disconnection from precepts of time and place.
