During a visit to Niagara-on-the-Lake earlier this year, world renowned actor, comedian and renaissance man Stephen Fry hinted that he'd return to the Shaw Festival in 2018. Tim Carroll, Artistic Director of The Shaw, will direct Mr. Fry in the world premiere of Mythos: A Trilogy - Gods. Heroes. Men. on the Festival Stage as part of the 2018 season.
"I had such an amazing time working with Stephen at the Globe," says Tim Carroll, Artistic Director of the Shaw Festival. "He has the most ridiculously huge brain; I can't wait to spend more time splashing around in it." Based on Mr. Fry's upcoming book, Mythos: A Trilogy - Gods. Heroes. Men. is a trilogy of plays telling the stories of Ancient Greece, with Mr. Fry's witty and fresh take on everyone from Aphrodite to Zeus. With so much material at Mr. Fry's fingertips, he may sometimes need the audience to help him choose which tales to tell, as he takes the audience all the way from the creation of the cosmos to the stories of the Trojan War. Mythos: A Trilogy - Gods. Heroes. Men. is the perfect showcase for Mr. Fry's spontaneous wit and matchless ease as a storyteller.Videos
