- Summary:
- "Was anyone undone by fire, or turned to ashes through desire? Two young trans people find love whilst escaping oppression; a shipwrecked migrant searches for his family; goddesses clash; parents fret; an alchemist brews magic and a teenage Cupid sets hearts on fire - causing chaos and near disaster. And all the while, time is running out! Galatea is an unapologetically queer tale of love, magic and the importance of welcoming outsiders.Galatea was originally written in the 1580s by John Lyly, William Shakespeare's best-selling but now long-forgotten contemporary, inspiring Shakespeare's comedies from As You Like It to A Midsummer Night's Dream. Performed in front of Queen Elizabeth I over four hundred years ago, this tale of love, joy, and the importance of welcoming outsiders is an incredibly resonant story for modern times....This text features set and costume design sketches by Mydd Pharo, BSL translation support from Duffy, and an inside look at the creation of the piece from each contributor." -- Publisher's Description.
