Bemused: A Play for Readers in Eight Acts

By MM Williams

A Romantic Comedy of Art, Inspiration, and Divine Interference

When a modern American poet accidentally reawakens his ancient Greek Muse, his quiet search for inspiration becomes a full-blown supernatural relationship.

She's brilliant, jealous, and immortal.

He's mortal, messy, and very much out of his depth.

What follows is a battle of wit, will, and words - a love story between creation and chaos.

Set across cafés in Greece, storms in Paris, and arguments that alter the weather, BEMUSED blends romantic comedy, magical realism, and literary satire in the tradition of "Bewitched" meets "Midnight in Paris" - with a touch of "Fleabag" self-awareness.

The result is a dazzling modern myth - part play, part philosophical fable - about art's oldest love affair: the one between the artist and the voice that won't leave him alone.

Told with wit, warmth, and a dangerous amount of divine sarcasm, BEMUSED explores:

The eternal tug-of-war between inspiration and insanityThe divine jealousy of the creative processAnd what happens when your Muse refuses to stay in your head - or your heart

From sunlit Thessaloniki to storm-soaked Paris, BEMUSED is both a romantic comedy and a love letter to every writer, dreamer, and artist haunted by their own imagination.

"When your Muse moves in, art isn't the only thing getting rewritten."
