Last Monday night, Rivendell's Fresh Produce new play development series was back in action once again with a concert reading of Elaine Romero's newest work, Graveyard of Empires. The play, a moving meditation on the human fallout from contemporary warfare, was workshopped over the preceding week by the playwright, director Susan Bowen, and a talented cast of actors. The reading drew a full house, and afterwards the Rivendell lobby was abuzz with great conversation.
