Dead at Thirty

Terpsion arrives at thirty, worn out from worrying about whether ninety-year-old Thucritus would ever finally die. Pluto explains, kindly, that the system is more intelligent than the legacy-hunters give it credit for: the public loves watching them get buried first. Terpsion, slowly, recognises he was the punchline. He still hopes a few rivals predecease Thucritus too. Cast: Terpsion, Pluto.
