The reading, based on the book “Myth What the Gods Tell Us Today” by Stephen Fry, offered great entertainment.
Greek adventures

Effects, staged in a surprising and funny way, made the audience laugh. The jazz musicians’ classic solos were also performed on the occasion of a music competition in the heavens.
Full physical effort
