Publisher's Synopsis
Only men were allowed to compete in the Ancient Olympics. Girls and unmarried women could attend, but not married women. However, one married woman, Callipateira, wanted to go to the Olympic Games to help her son. She put on a false beard and went. This is the story of her adventures at the Ancient Olympics. On the way we learn of the traditions of the games, such as the Olympic Torch and the Olympic Truce that continue to this day and are the embodiment of the spirit of the modern Olympic movement. There is a complete show supplied, ready to perform complete with script, historical fact sheets, and a Art Pack showing how to make the costumes, scenery and props. A CD is supplied with both rehearsal and performance backing tracks.
