Titled Lovers’ Legends Unbound, it features familiar protagonists who reveal here a side censored since Roman times. Stories of Narcissus, who spurns the love of another man before falling in love with himself; Hercules and Hylas, in love and together “morning, noon and night;” Zeus and Ganymede and jealous Hera, and many others, are set to music by Steve Gorn and read by Timothy Carter. The tales show that self-indulgence, betrayal, and violence are to be despised, and love is the highest good. The myths were restored and retold by author Andrew Calimach, and published unabridged in Lovers’ Legends: The Gay Greek Myths, a ForeWord Book-of-the-Year Award winner and a well-reviewed work, adapted here for the stage by Israeli director Agnes Lev.
