The Rompers Reading Challenge Update: Mythology

Mythology is defined in the Merriam-Webster dictionary as:
mythology (n.): a body of myths, as that of a particular people or that relating to a particular person; a set of stories, traditions, or beliefs associated with a particular group or the history of an event, arising naturally or deliberately fostered.

This is the genre that we will be starting with. After much searching, Karen has chosen to read Eugene O’Neill’s Mourning Becomes Electra and Dani has selected Tom Stoppard’s The Invention of Love. Obviously, these are both plays and it will be interesting to see how they relate and treat mythology.

There will be an update once The Rompers have finished reading their plays.
