"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."

Camelot... the Knights of the Round Table... the Quest for the Holy Grail... in a World of Men, One Woman dares to seize Power -- Morgan le Fay

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.
