2025 Playhouse Palooza August 6 Tanglewood Marionettes Present "Perseus & Medusa"

“In the land of Ancient Greece, on the island of Seriphos, a woman named Danae lived with her son Perseus. He had never known his father, and his mother never spoke of the man, but alone she raised her son well among the simple fisher people by the shores of the Aegean Sea…” So begins Perseus and Medusa, a story as old as time that tells of a young hero and a dangerous quest. In this exciting retelling of this classic Greek myth, Perseus will visit many magical places, from the sun-kissed Garden of the Hesperides, to the dark and ominous Underworld, and encounter all manner of mythical beings – some who hinder, and some who help – in his quest to defeat the Gorgon Medusa.
