A man in his 80's years old was fishing. He was sitting in his boat
when he heard a voice say, 'Pick me up.' He looked and
couldn't see any one. He heard the voice
say again,'Pick me up.'
He looked in the water and there, floating on the top, was a frog.
The man said, 'Are you talking to me?'
The frog said, 'Yes, I'm talking to you. Pick me up then, kiss me and
I'll turn into the most beautiful woman you have ever seen. I'll make sure that all your friends are envious and jealous because I
will be your bride!'
The man looked at the frog for a short time, reached over, picked it up
carefully, and placed it in his front breast pocket.
Then the frog said, 'What, are you nuts? Didn't you hear what I said? I
said kiss me and I will be your beautiful bride.',
He opened his pocket, looked at the frog and said,
'Nah, at my age I'd rather have a talking frog.'

Spanning five thousand years of human experience, Mythic Plays
includes four dramas evolved from collaboration with American theatres
by playwrights Conrad Bishop and Elizabeth Fuller and The Independent
Eye. From Greek myth (Medea/Sacrament), Norse saga (Ragnarok: Doom of the Gods), Sumerian archetype (Descent of the Goddess Inanna) and Mary Shelley's "Modern Prometheus," Frankenstein, these plays offer highly readable models for a synthesis of poetry, visual theatre, and the immediate reality of myth.
Bishop, Conrad,& Fuller Elizabeth, Mythic Plays. Sebastopol: Wordworkers Press, 2008. 1946 pp., paper, $19.95 ISBN 0-9745664-3-8.
The publishers are listed as Wordworker’s press, but the Independent Eye has a lot to do with Mythic Plays. I enjoyed reading all four plays. I enjoyed the Pagan themed ones, the most. The only one without a pagan theme was Frankenstein. As this book portrays the production of these plays by various community theaters, it is a good book for such theaters. I had actually seen Ragnarok at John Hinkel Park produced by the Shotgun Players. I am afraid that much of the dram is missed when only reading the play on paper. The artistry is putting the play in all of the extra dimensions in live theater. Nevertheless, it is quite interesting seeing the skeleton of many mythic plays as portrayed in this book.- Ardys DeLu
