The Wreck of the Manifest Destiny is a lyrical new play by Clay Steakley that draws inspiration from Greek epics, centering around a shipwreck in a mysterious new land where mythological icons such as Medea, Sisyphus, and Grendel must work together to build a new world. The poetic tale is part of the Kindling Arts Festival 2026: Utopias.
