75 minutesThe Annexe
A classic tale of boy meets girl. Except she’s got a mysterious box that can destroy the world. The town Neapolis is shocked when an outsider named Pandora washes up on its shores. Enchanting and powerful, she awakens jealousies that overturn the townspeople’s lives. They suspect the answers to their problems are inside Pandora’s sole possession, a beautiful box she warned them never to open. They never suspect Pandora is a test from Zeus himself, with humanity’s survival at stake. Myth meets madcap comedy in a story about gods, monsters, love, and betrayal.

About Bullis School

Pandora: A Tragicomic Greek Romp is a drama-comedy by Bullis School, performed at The Annexe. When an outsider named Pandora washes up on the shores of the town Neapolis, she awakens jealousies and overturns lives. The townsfolk suspect the answers to their problems lie inside Pandora's mysterious box — she warned them never to open it.

Why see this show?

A student production that dives headlong into Greek myth and plays it for both laughs and genuine stakes. The original story has never lost its hold — gods, monsters and the temptation of the unopenable box.
