Ted Hughes: Tales from Ovid

Note   ‘This was poetry in performance, presented through music, movement and words. The appearance of a storyteller figure in each episode, whether as narrator or Chorus, strengthened the oral-narrative aspects of the poems.’ [Source:  Lorna Hardwick commenting on the Royal Shakespeare Company’s production of Tales from Ovid at the Swan Theatre, Stratford-upon-Avon, 20^th April 1999 – 7^th October 1999.
