Why Orpheus

Credit is owed to the Greeks for our Western secular culture in philosophy, mathematics, politics and drama, and we acknowledge the Greeks as our ancestral storytellers. For whatever reason we have as to why we write, they have given us the beginnings of what we write.

I'm interested in framing the New Adventures and the new series in this mythology. I am also interested in unfolding Barry Kosky's production of The Lost Echo. This was Kosky and Tom Wright's exploration of Ovid's Metamorphosis. In this the themes of change and story resonate as the lost echo.
