Master Storytellers Hugh Lupton & Daniel Morden at the Getty Villa
April 10, 2015 - April 12, 2015
$12His work with Daniel Morden on Greek epics (The Iliad, The Odyssey, and Metamorphases) has received wide acclaim. Lupton and Morden last performed at the Getty Villa in 2007. Lupton’s first novel, The Ballad of John Clare, was published in 2010.
Morden has twice won the English-language section of the Welsh Books Council’s Tir na n-Og Awards, first in 2007 for Dark Tales from the Woods, based on Welsh folktales, and then in 2013 for Tree of Leaf and Flame, a collection of stories retelling the Mabinogion. In 2014, Morden was deemed the International New Voice at the National Storytelling Festival in Tennessee.
Our Favorite event so far, (at the Edinburgh Festival) has been the rendering of “Metamorphases” by master storytellers Hugh Lupton and Daniel Morden. The tale of Echo and Narcissus stopped all our hearts no matter how hardened by age. — The Guardian
I went to the Barbican the other day to listen to two of Britain’s finest storytellers—Hugh Lupton and Daniel Morden—recounting The Iliad, the tale of that great quarrel from which all Western literature springs. The seats were uncomfortable…but the hours flew by. These two men had an entire audience in their thrall. — The Times of London
