RE-AWAKENING THE MUSE
Marble Sarcophagus of the Muses, with their attributes
2nd century AD
The Hampstead Players Literary Hour Muse was required to quarantine in the pandemic. During that time she must have pricked her finger and fallen into an extended, Sleeping Beauty-type sleep.
Waiting 100 years on the off-chance that a dashing prince will pass this way to wake her is too tedious and uncertain – the Prince species may well have become extinct by then … or the chemistry of kisses could have genetically modified, or fail to meet future health & safety requirements!
Fortunately, other reviving methods are now available so, with a select group of readers, we plan to charm our Muse awake and restore her cultural heritage through poetry and prose, with a hint of music, to relaunch the Hampstead Players’ Literary Hours, now moved to a new time:
