Featuring plays Nirmala Nataraj, Bennett Fisher, Stuart Eugene Bousel, Claire Rice, and Evelyn Jean Pine. In SONGS OF HESTIA: FIVE PLAYS FROM THE 2010 SAN FRANCISCO OLYMPIANS FESTIVAL, five playwrights adapt some of Western culture's oldest stories to illuminate our present-day concerns with imagination, creativity, curiosity and passion. These are plays that ask the hard questions, that explore our humanity through exploring the myths that make us who we are. Hestia, the goddess of the hearth, is variously an ex-nun who runs a Hollywood hot dog cart (\u003cem\u003eAphrodite: A Romance in Infomercials\u003c\/em\u003e by Nirmala Nataraj); a barista who serves as the play's moral conscience (\u003cem\u003eHermes\u003c\/em\u003e by Bennett Fisher); a sharp-tongued spinster (\u003cem\u003eJuno en Victoria\u003c\/em\u003e by Stuart Eugene Bousel); a crazed, childlike wraith (\u003cem\u003eDemeter's Daughter\u003c\/em\u003e by Claire Rice); and a nurturing but ultimately ineffectual goddess (\u003cem\u003eHephaestus and the Three Golden Robots\u003c\/em\u003e by Evelyn Jean Pine).
