Galatea on God is a modern look at timeless stories. Firmly grounded in non-realism, this complex drama explores the idea that modern characters can live out ancient Greek myths, with intriguing and sometimes explosive results.
Damokles is Damien, a gay man who feels he is living someone else’s life.
Psyche is Pam, Damien’s ex-girlfriend who can’t trust someone to actually love her.
Cupid is Charlie, a charming pathological liar who falls for Pam.
Narcissus is Beau, whose confidence makes him simultaneously beautiful and dangerous.
Echo is Nadia, whose love for Beau is slowly erasing her sense of self.
Pygmalion is Carver, a college professor obsessed with molding the perfect woman.
And finally we have Galatea herself, Pam’s sister--Carver’s perfect creation whose wrath turns deadly.
A true ensemble piece, this ambitious play featured seven actors who double as a masked Greek chorus. Combining humor, heartbreak, rage, and revenge--as well as the ever-present quest to understand who or what moves the universe-- Galatea on God is not easily forgotten.
