Mankind & Co.
Author(s):
Thomas Hischak
The fascinating tales of ancient Greek and Roman mythologies are brought alive with the crisp, modern dialogue of two narrators and a very flexible cast. Phaethon asks the Sun God if he can "borrow the car" for a day. Dad fears disaster but relents with the admonition to "Fasten your seat belt!" In another tale, Arachne is turned into a spider for beating Athena in a weaving contest. Even the story of Pygmalion is included. The tales are expertly woven together by the narrators, who alternate in describing the stories as they unfold. Actors alternate between speaking parts, mime and being props such as trees or rocks. Both costuming and sets are modern and simple for easy production.
