An evening "Of Myth and Mud"

Last night I went with a friend to see a Weber State University original play in the Eccles Theater on campus.  The play was titled, Of Myth and Mud.  There was also a short narrative called Currency of Fire, which was performed just before Of Myth and Mud.

The play, Of Myth and Mud, was a modern take on Pandora's Box and many mythical creatures.  The female characters consisted of Pandora, a mermaid, a unicorn, a dragon, a shapeshifter, a selkie, a phoenix, Medusa, and a Sphinx.  Pandora woke up to discover she was no longer mud, she discovers a box and opens it.  After this she watches the encounters of the other female characters throughout the play.  By the end she is devastated, heart-broken, and filled with despair.  She is saved by Hope, which was the only thing that stayed in the box.

I enjoyed both plays!  I think my favorite character was Pandora, however I think all the characters were well written and performed.

Here is a list to the bios.
