THE ILIAD, ODYSSEY AND ALL OF GREEK MYTHOLOGY IN 99 MINUTES OR LESS
by Jay Hopkins and John Hunter
Hold onto your helmets, mortals! The Iliad, The Odyssey, and All of Greek Mythology in 99 Minutes or Less is a lightning-fast, toga-tangled romp through thousands of years of epic storytelling — from Zeus’s bad dating habits to Odysseus’s world’s-worst road trip. Watch a handful of actors heroically (and hysterically) attempt to cram every Greek god, monster, and myth into one action-packed hour and a half. It’s equal parts Homer, Monty Python, and high-school history class gone off the rails. Get ready for laughter of mythic proportions!
Performance Warnings:
This production includes lighting and sound effects including strobe, flashing lights, sirens.
“The Iliad, The Odyssey, and all of Greek Mythology in 99 Minutes or Less” is presented by arrangement with Concord Theatricals on behalf of Samuel French, Inc. www.concordtheatricals.com"
