Mythic Plays: from Inanna to Frankenstein - Paperback

by Conrad Bishop (Author), Elizabeth Fuller (Author)

Spanning five thousand years of human experience, from the Fertile Crescent to the inventor's lab, Mythic Plays includes four dramas evolved from collaboration with American theatres by playwrights Conrad Bishop and Elizabeth Fuller and their performance ensemble The Independent Eye. From Greek myth (Medea/Sacrament), Norse saga (Ragnarok: Doom of the Gods), Sumerian archetype (Descent of the Goddess Inanna) and Mary Shelley's "Modern Prometheus," Frankenstein, these plays offer models for a synthesis of poetry, physical theatre, and the immediate reality of myth.
