Cyclops
Spring 2013
By Euripides
Comically ripped from the pages of the Odyssey, Cyclops is PCC-Theatre at Sylvania’s first touring children’s production.? The story: Odysseus, the classical hero, has washed ashore on an unfamiliar island, which is inhabited by one-eyed giant (played as a gentle 10-foot puppet) Cyclops, and some very silly companions: Rhyming Pirates, the uptight playwright Euripides, confused shepherds, volunteer sheep, and one very forgetful stage manager.
This 2500-year-old classic has been updated and adapted for children of all ages, and will play for FREE in selected areas around Portland (see below). With a nod to Commedia del Arte, Buffoonery, and classic children’s theatre, this production uses audience suggestions and volunteers to round out the goofball antics!
