Between the Mysts adapted & directed by: Valerie Gramling artistic director: Suzanne von Eck. "One of the most interesting and ingratiating elements of Between the Mysts is Gilgamesh's ingenious use of mysterious and medieval puppets" -- Glenn Loney The New York Theatre Wire "Gretchen Van Lente and David Michael Friend have designed and built twelve large rod puppets representing various Knights of the Round Table. ...Drama of Works' puppets, with detailed costumes of contrasting textures are beautifully designed." - Donald Devet PuppetMaster
Drama of Works' Puppets: Wright and Warton puppets shown above were constructed by David Michael Friend and Gretchen Van Lente respectively. Through the centuries, Morgan le Fay has been a contradictory and elusive figure. Witch or Goddess? Sister or Seductress? King Arthur's savior or betrayer? Between the Mysts explodes the myths and discovers the woman. Drama of Works produced the 12 puppets used in the piece, each representing a different view on how King Arthur perceives Morgan le Fay.
