British writer and comedian Stephen Fry will perform at next year’s Shaw Festival in Ontario, Canada, with a starring role in a show focused on the myths of ancient Greece.
“Mythos: A Trilogy – Gods. Heroes. Men,” which is based on Fry’s upcoming homonymous book, is a trilogy of plays featuring Fry’s comical take on mythological figures from the birth of the cosmos to the Trojan war.
“The Festival’s renowned history of bringing together spectacle, story and theatrical flair should be the perfect fit for these ancient, yet stunningly contemporary, stories,” Fry noted in a press release.
“I am positively dribbling and drooling with anticipation,” noted Fry, who has previously campaigned for the return to Greece of the British Museum’s Parthenon Marbles.
