A surreal, bizarre, heartfelt adaptation of the myth of Echo & Narcissus.
It takes place at a diner. But not just any diner. This diner is tucked away in the Pine Barrens in the depths of South Jersey, where Echo, a lovelorn trans waitress, pines for Narcissus, a forlorn fry cook. The play collides Greek mythology with the lore of the Jersey Devil to tell a story about fate, longing, the pains of change, and the possibility of love... It might be a dream. It might be a fairytale. Or it might just be New Jersey
