The Wives. The Concubines. The Ritual. is a three-act dark romanticism that tells the story of five of King Solomon's three hundred concubines, left behind during his extended campaign, overthrowing their oppressive existence through Lilith's ritual, and transforming their harem into a sanctuary of freedom and forbidden desire.

Sabra, Kalila, Ereni, Ziva, and Naima embody a metaphor of queerness, rebellion, and Sapphic exploration challenging the prescribed roles imposed upon them by their marriage alliance with Solomon. Inspired 1 Kings 11:1-8, the play reimagines the biblical narrative of Solomon's foreign concubines "turning his heart away," not as a tale of idolatry and condemnation, but as a bold reclamation of love and identity. Through whispered conversations and clandestine touches, they explore the forbidden: sapphic desire, the power of shared vulnerability, and the possibility of a life beyond their imposed roles.

RUN TIME: 2 hours, 30 minutes (including a 15 minute intermission)
