Synopsis
Today is the unveiling of The Flame of Hope, a radical design by the ambitious Lily Lent. It will harness the sun's energy to create a permanent fireball so great that it can be seen from space - in theory. Lily's veneer of self-confidence threatens to crack as she deals with the day's problems. BURNING AMBITION is a comedic retelling of the Narcissus myth: does self-adoration lead to self-destruction?
