  Constantinople, a city that witnessed the rise and fall of empires, served as the capital for three significant civilizations: the Roman/Byzantine Empire (330–1204 and 1261–1453), the Latin Empire (1204–1261), and the Ottoman Empire (1453–1922). Following the Turkish War of Independence, the capital was moved to Ankara, marking a new chapter in Turkish history. In 1930, the city was officially renamed Istanbul, which remains the Republic of Turkey’s largest city and financial center today. It is also the largest city in Europe. 
  In 324 AD, Emperor Constantine the Great made the fateful decision to transform the old city of Byzantium into a grand new capital, naming it "New Rome" and consecrating it on May 11, 330 AD. This strategic move solidified the city’s place in history, becoming the heart of the Eastern Roman Empire, later known as the Byzantine Empire. 
  Constantinople became a symbol of Orthodox Christianity, often referred to as the "cradle of Orthodox Christian civilization." The city's religious and cultural significance cannot be overstated; it was home to some of the most iconic architectural and religious sites in the Christian world. From the mid-fifth to the early-thirteenth century, Constantinople was Europe's largest, most affluent metropolis, a center of commerce, culture, and intellectual activity.

  In this provocative & immensely irritating comic play, the Sphinx from ancient Greece is interviewed in modern times as though she were a celebrity pop star. The problem is she never answers any questions — never directly anyway. Instead she prefers just dishing the dirt on everybody. ON HOMER: “I never was exactly sure which one Homer was. I’m positive he wasn’t the blind one, though; that was just a silly story they started telling a few centuries later”. ON OEDIPUS: “Eddie was terribly conceited, you know … of course he was smart and handsome and, oh, just had a way of carrying himself that impressed everybody. In spite of his foot.” Bit by bit the Interviewer learns that what happens in Greek legend didn’t happen exactly the way Sophocles described it. Fortunately, the Sphinx offers the Interviewer another riddle … if only he could figure out what exactly it is! This witty 67 minute audio play stars Jill Brumer as the Sphinx and Neal Gage as the Interviewer. Part Tom Stoppard, part Monty Python, part Oscar Wilde, this play by Jack Matthews combines philosophical paradoxes with fast-paced verbal pyrotechnics. It offers the perfect antidote to people who remembered ancient literature as nothing but stuffy and melodramatic characters with hard-to-pronounce names.  
  Neal Gage  is a Houston actor and teacher who has appeared in several features and comic sketch videos on  Funny or Die. Jill Brumer has an MFA in Media & Performing Arts and teaches theater at Houston colleges. Jack Matthews (1925-2013) was an American novelist, short story writer, essayist, playwright and former professor in Ohio. 
  The play was first published & performed in 1992; later it was revised & expanded for the 2013 audio production.

  The Women's March on Versailles...

  In the years leading up to the French Revolution, tensions across France were steadily rising. The burdens of the common people, particularly those of the Third Estate, had reached unbearable levels. While the nobility and clergy enjoyed privileges and wealth, the vast majority of the population struggled under the weight of excessive taxation and economic instability. The inequalities in French society were stark, fueling resentment that would ultimately ignite revolutionary fervor. 
  One of the most pressing concerns for the people of France was the relentless increase in bread prices. As the primary staple of the French diet, bread was essential for survival, yet by 1789, its cost had soared beyond what many could afford. A series of poor harvests, combined with inflation and a flawed taxation system, meant that working-class families were spending nearly all their income just to feed themselves. Women, who were responsible for feeding their households, were particularly affected. Their desperation grew as they saw their children go hungry, pushing them toward direct action against those they held responsible for their suffering. 
  At the same time, the ideas of the Enlightenment had begun to take hold among the people. Thinkers like Rousseau, Voltaire, and Montesquieu had challenged the foundations of monarchy, divine rule, and social inequality. The belief that sovereignty should rest with the people rather than the king inspired many to question the legitimacy of their rulers. These ideas were not confined to intellectual circles; they spread through pamphlets, newspapers, and public gatherings, reaching even the market women and working-class citizens of Paris. For many, the Enlightenment provided not just a critique of the monarchy, but a vision for a new society built on justice and equality.
