(Applause Books). A cycle of eleven episodes told in Story Theater
form, a narrator speaking and life-sized puppets performing
simultaneously, The Greek Myths tells the story of Greek mythology
from the first moments of creation through its version of the story
of the flood, the reign of Zeus, and the trials, tribulations and
joys during Zeus's long and continuing reign. It brings to life
some of the most memorable episodes and characters in that saga:
the Titans, the Cyclops, Zeus himself, Echo and Narcissus, Cupid
and Psyche, Theseus, Orpheus and Euridice, and many, many more.
This version of the stories by playwright Leon Katz is based on the
Roman poet Ovid's epic poem Metamorphoses, the most popular and
witty retelling of the tales in Western literature. The Greek Myths
has an impressive track record. It ran for ten years in the
Vagabond Puppet Company's production and during that time, toured
throughout the US. Its appeal has been strong with both young
audiences and adults alike and was seen by thousands of
theatregoers. Lois Bohovesky, artistic director of the Vagabond
Puppet Company, explains,"For life-sized puppets performing Greek
myths for children, the script had to be exciting, humorous and
certainly accurate, the language crystal clear, and the poetry
flowing naturally as speech ... We all know people like these gods
Zeus, for instance, the consummate politician. The play is full of
humor, and the characters so well written that the actor's job is
an easy one."
