AbstractHistoryArchive Description

' ... the story of Herod Sondheim Rockefeller, a well known, liked and respected pillar of the community who's found life's greatest joy in the act of giving. But what happens when he starts to question the sincerity of gratitude? Presented in the form of an extended monologue, Herod's story is an honest and confronting confession detailing his journey from philanthropist to miscreant. Partially inspired by The Fall by Albert Camus, as well as elements of Milton's Paradise Lost and Dante's Inferno, Ad Infinitum is an exploration of the various ways we construct ideas of self-worth and gratification through our relationships.'
