"There once lived a very rich king called Midas who believed that nothing was more precious than gold." So begins this imaginative and breathtaking retelling of the myth of the man with the golden touch. When a mysterious stranger offers to reward Midas for a kindness, the king does not hesitate: He wishes that all he touches would turn to gold. To his delight, his wish is granted and he soon sets about transforming his ordinary palace into a place of golden beauty. But to his dismay, when he accidentally turns his beloved daughter into a golden statue, Midas learns that what at first seems a blessing can also become a curse.
Charlotte Chorpenning explores Greek mythology in this adaptation of the Midas myth. Ambitious for power and wealth, King Midas wishes upon the statue of Goddess Cybele that everything he touches turns to gold. Not realizing the dramatic consequences of such a wish, Midas soon learns that even his food turns to gold. Now he must live with the constant fear that he may turn his beloved daughter, Tyra, to gold with just one touch. Determined to save her father, Tyra designs a game to teach her father that the simple truth can break the spell. Originally produced by the Goodman Theatre, Chicago, King Midas and the Golden Touch is a fascinating theatrical experience that brings ancient mythology alive for young audiences.
