Aphrodite

Dazzling: wise, clever twists about choice, male determination, and consequence.

Icarus

After all the gods and their lack of choice, we come to the final instalment, the human dimension. Where we have one. A heartfelt, satisfying finish.

Metamorphoses

The overriding sense, not surprisingly with these actors, is joy.

Mr and Mrs Nobody

A warm-hearted yet sharp-witted peek at how the Pooter half live

Ode to Joyce

A gem of an incarnation.

Orpheus

A terrific reinvention, bringing gods and heroines up from the death of myth to an altered world.

Paradise

A sleeping classic in the making

Pygmalion
