Synopsis

This travel diary is an eye-witness account of a production of a classical Greek play at Epidauros, Greece. But, above all, it is a story of friendship-deep and abiding friendship that transcends time and place. Its setting is both ancient and modern. The heart of the story is a three-week journey that climaxes with the presentation of Euripides' Medea. The mythical road to Epidauros did not take only three weeks to traverse, but rather several lifetimes-indeed centuries. The details of the friendship emerge in the journey with a troupe of Greek actors and artists devoted to a single mission: presenting an incomparable ancient tragedy at the most fabled theater in the ancient world. Herein is a voyage of discovery recounted with equal doses of innocence and experience. From maids to movie stars, waiters to walk-ons, the characters in these pages will transport the reader to a magical place, where the feeling of being a part of an enchanted production will linger in the reader's imagination.
