ABOUT THE SHOW:
Primal storytelling and modern sensibility collide in this contemporary re-envisioning of Greek myths, as gods and mortals alike endure love, loss, and transformation. Swirling with passion, Mary Zimmerman crafts a masterpiece that mesmerizes with tales of Midas, Orpheus, Aphrodite, and more in a whimsical and heartbreaking meditation on the joys and perils of being human.
