I LOVED this book — funny, smart, and strangely moving. Set in ancient Syracuse but written with a modern, Irish street wit, it follows two unemployed potters who decide to put on a Greek tragedy… using prisoners of war (held in the local quarry) as actors!

It shouldn’t work, but it totally does.

The dialogue crackles, the characters are rough, but loveable, and underneath all the laughs, there’s real heart and thought about war, art, and friendship.
