Amphitryon
BücherAngebote / Angebote:
A comical, anachronistic, and witty retelling of the Greek myth, composed "after Kleist by way of Molière with a little bit of Giraudoux." "The story of Jupiter's cuckolding of Amphitryon has come in a variety of theatrical styles over the centuries. Plautus, by all accounts, had great success with it as a burlesque for the Romans, Molière turned it into a farce, of course, Kleist made a romance of it, and Giraudoux fashioned it into a fantasy. In the new version, Mr Overmyer seems to aim for the sophistication of a Saturday Night Live skit, a sort of Classics Comics for the theater." -Wilborn Hampton, The New York Times
