masks and music. This romantic comedy moves between the worlds of gods and goddesses, mortals and creatures. The
myth is a creation story that explains the origin of seasons. On the earth, Demeter rules nature with her daughter,
Persephone, while Zeus (in various puppet disguises) seduces mortal women. more

 The Enemy is a military Punch and Judy show that raises questions about war,
murder and consequence. Joe enlists in the army because he wants to kill Nick, his sworn enemy. He comes
into conflict with authority figures who applaud his attack on the Enemy but condemn his desire to revenge
himself on a single man. Moral ambiguities arise concerning the difference between killing for one's
country and killing for one's personal sense of justice. more
