Echo: a one wood nymph show

If you enjoy Greek Mythology then you should like the play Echo. In this one wood nymph show, Echo reminds us there are always two sides of the story. And stories change over time.

Echo needs to speak, she is filled with gossip and can’t help using words. Not surprisingly her gift for the gab gets her into terrible trouble.

Hera, Zeus’s wife, puts a spell on her. She is never to speak again unless she is spoken to and then she cannot use the words unless given them from someone else. She has no words when she falls in love with Narcissus. And we all know whom he loves.

And so it goes, as these power stories do. The Greek gods wreak havoc without really knowing the full implications of their powerful acts.

Greek tragedy it is.

Echo is on as part of this year's Vancouver Fringe Festival. For more informationg go here.
