Tales from Greek Legends

Bellerophon & Pegasus The Anger of Artemis The Story of Orion the Hunter Meleager and the Calydonian Boar Orpheus and Eurydice Atlanta's Marriage and the Golden Apples of the Hesperides Artemis and Actaeon Echo and Narcissus Castor and Pollux -- the Dioscuri Athena and Arachne Bellerophon and the winged horse Pegasus launch into the blue sky in search of the dreaded three-headed Chimera, but will success go to the hero's head? Orpheus, devastated by the death of his wife, Eurydice, dares the dangers of the kingdom of the dead in an attempt to bring her back to life. Echo loves Narcissus but the only person that he loves is himself: a story that can only end in sadness. These and other colourful legends from Ancient Greece are retold in lively form by Benjamin Soames, with classical music providing further excitement. Benjamin Soames trained at LAMDA. Since then, he has been active on both stage and screen, appearing in the popular TV series Sharpe, and touring worldwide in the acclaimed Cheek by Jowl production of Shakespeare's Measure for Measure, directed by Declan Donnelan.
