Myth-o-logues
Cassandra (the Trojan prophetess no one believes) is here to be your Greek mythology tour guide. She’ll lead you through stories of war, relationships and the origins of good and evil. She’ll share all before old Charon ferries the whole audience across the River Styx. Will you listen? Will you learn? Will you believe?
A fantastic one act and classroom resource. Pick and choose from this must-have collection of monologues from Greek Mythology’s greatest characters.
