From playwright Patrice Danae Bell and director Olivia Ragan, The One With Violets In Her Lap is a full-length play with music based on the fragmented poetry of Sappho, the prolific Greek poet whom Plato referred to as The Tenth Muse.

In this queer modern take on the greek tragedy, we find Sappho lamenting to Aphrodite about her latest lady love. Little does Sappho know, the Goddess is actually listening. And she just might be in the mood to help a Lesbian out. Weaving contemporary dialogue with Sappho’s own fragmented poetry, The One With Violets In Her Lap is a play about women, specifically women who love women, and finding our place in a world meant for neither. The One With Violets In Her Lap premiered off-off-Broadway at The Flea's Siggy Theater in May 2024.
