Southern Connecticut State University's Department of Theatre Puts On An Adaptation of Gallathea
A rave-party of a play, John Lyly’s Gallathea is a queer love story set against a backdrop of classical myth. Two young girls hide out in a sacred grove to avoid becoming dinner for a sea monster, and fall in love. Shipwrecked slackers seek their fortunes by trying on some very odd jobs. A girl gang rules the forest until Cupid shoots everyone with his love arrows. Pop-star Goddesses are in a big fight and the rocker Neptune wants his sacrifice as God of the Sea. All the old rules are thrown out and the play ends in a joyful affirmation of identity, where old wrongs are set right and a new future begins.
Set in a once beautiful, now run-down forest near a sea-side town, the production will feature music by artists such as Beyonce, Ariana Grande, Dua Lipa, and Ed Sheerhan. Projections create a magical world of neon adorned music video with a flash and trash concert feel. The mash up of pop modernity, new world proto-science, and ancient gods pose the question to audience and characters alike... who do you worship? And more importantly, who do you love?
