Auditions for the role of Leander in the classical play required the protagonist to swim the waters of the Foggy Bottoms Resort and Spa. the Face of Everyman explained, almost in vain, that these waters represented Hellespont, a key element in this epic story of two lovers. Seen above, a timid thespian wannabe tests the waters at every reading. In the end, the venerable sage re-cast some in “Death of a Salesman”, and give up on the idea of directing Summer Stock Theater.
Hero and Leander
Hero has sent Leander searching the vast grounds of the Foggy Bottoms Resort and Spa for soft nesting materials. the face of Everyman tries to warn Leander that Neptune is lurking to attack him. The venerable sage is able to distract the Royal Denizen of the Deep just long enough for Leander to escape. Upon arriving home he presents his find to Hero, his lovely sweetheart, and burst into song: “Be it ever so humble, there is no place like home.” Curtain closes. The Resort guests rise to a standing ovation for this ground breaking re-telling of an ancient classic.
