The Theatre of Director Julius Opus This award winning three act oeuvre centers on Julius Opus, the wild and eccentric director of the Elysium Repertory Guild, resident drama company of the country s National Centre for Culture and Arts, and his merry band of thespians. They include his merry band of thespians. They include his better-half Natasha Opus, his muse and the perennial lead actress of the company; Ludwig Von Marques, Opus demented stage manager; Marcus Aurelius Sibol, his hot-tempered lead actor and soon-to-be-rival; Abe Isaac, a grizzled (and pickled) character actor; Rocco X., Opus left-and right hand man; and Aristotle Lakbaylangit, a comely stud-cum-protégé. Into this dramatic web of grand illusions, delusions and general mayhem, enters Leandro Luna, an innocent theatre major and all-around goody two-shoes.
