The Illiad, the Odyssey, and All of Greek Mythology in 99 Minutes or Less

by Jay Hopkins and John Hunter

Directed by Chris Polo

On a simple stage, with the clock ticking in front of everyone's eyes, the cast speeds through ALL of Greek Mythology. The gods walk the red carpet; the Creation of Mankind is a botched subcontractor job; Man and Pandora try to settle down despite an ominous wedding gift. Love stories are a dating show and the Greek Tragedies are sports highlights.

Don't forget the two greatest stories ever told - The Iliad and The Odyssey. Kidnap Helen of Troy and you've got a 10-year slap-fight of epic proportions, with pouty Achilles, war-hungry Agamemnon and clever Odysseus fighting giants, seductresses and the gods themselves.

All the silly decisions, the absurd destinies, and the goofy characters are presented lightning-bolt fast with hysterical results as the cast races to get it all in before time runs out.

The Iliad, The Odyssey, and All of Greek Mythology opens on Friday, October 1, 2010 at 8 PM, with evening performances on October 2, 8, 9, 15, and 16, and a Sunday matinee performance at 2 PM on October 10.

Tickets go on sale September 20, 2010.
