Perseus and the Medusa image

THE ADVENTURES OF PERSEUS
Original play inspired by classic Greek myths by Will Huddleston

The play presents the story of Perseus - his conquest of the Gorgon, the Medusa, and the rescue of his bride, Andromeda, from the Kraken, a great sea-serpent. In the idyllic land of Hyperborea, Perseus sees a comic play (a play within the play) of Midas and the Golden Touch. Classical themes of gods and heroism, fate and pride are presented in a lively and thought provoking manner.
