CRETAN MYTHS
A Storytelling Cycle Performed by John J. Taylor, in association with Theatre Odyssey
St Fillan's Cave, up the Wynd from the Harbour
Dates - Tues 10th, Wed 11th and Thurs 12th August 2010 at 2pm.
FREE ADMISSION - DONATIONS GRATEFULLY RECEIVED
Following on from last year's highly successful 'One-Man Odyssey', Pittenweem performance-storyteller John J. Taylor brings a new series of linked stories, all stemming from Ancient Cretan Civilisation.
Enjoy the dark and beautiful stories of Theseus and the Minotaur, trapped in labyrinth created by the mad inventor, Daedalus, who lost his son, Icarus, who flew too close to the sun when they tried to escape from the crazy King Minos. And so on...
These enticing tales are told in the atmospheric setting of Pittenweem's ancient St Fillan's cave: the most labyrinthine space in Scotland?!
A show for young and old alike, one day will follow on from the day before. Turn up to all three sessions, or just pop along to one.

OEDIPUS
Theatre Odyssey presents
OEDIPUS:
The Reason of Tiresias
by John J. Taylor, After Sophocles
A rehearsed reading with the cast, followed by audience discussion.
2pm, Saturday 24th April, Barron Theatre
Oedipus is a Senior Partner in Theban Legal Services, representing a blind client who can, apparently, tell the future. The other partners are against him, and it is up to him, and only him, to find the reason for the firm's failure. Follow Oedipus as he progresses through his blindness towards a full view of the truth. Or vice-versa.
In John J. Taylor's new adaptation of Sophocles' 5th Century BC play, Oedipus is brought firmly into the 21st Century, while retaining the essential elements, themes and structure of the original play. Part of the production process, the directors, cast and writer will present a rehearsed reading of this production-in-process, followed by discussion and feedback from the audience. The full production will take place in the Byre Theatre in Autumn 2010. Join the audience to be a part of this major production, marking Theatre Odyssey's 10th Annversary.
Not suitable for under 16s.
