 "War
in Heaven, Accessing Myth Through Drama is
the opening curtain on the dawn of a spiritual renaissance
of the theatrical arts. The archetypal myth of Herakles
(Hercules) portrays to us all our journey as humanity,
with its challenges to see the task clearly, have
the courage to undertake it, and the skill and wisdom
to triumph. War in Heaven is not only a reinvigoration
and reinterpretation of the Herakles myth, but a manual
and guidebook. By its very depth and scope, it outlines
the vision and the means for the re-creation of sacred
drama in the 21st century." -- Gordon Davidson,
author of Spiritual Politics, President, The Center
for Visionary Leadership, Washington, D.C.
This book is a description of, and theatrical guide
to, the production of a mythical story that contains
coded messages important to our time. As such, it
concerns itself not only with the practical aspects
of planning and carrying out the production, but with
the philosophical, psychological and spiritual dimensions
of mythological theatre.
The book contains a complete script for the drama
"The True Herakles," together with
production notes.
