Hello all!
A myth-inspired script for today! I was really tempted to change the ending of this story. The original happy ending of this myth seemed a little too…I don’t know, saccharine? Anyway, despite my reservations, I decided to keep it as is. Hope you enjoy!
Synopsis: Pygmalion (our speaker) is a sculptor, and though he is an extremely talented artist, he has found little success in the art of love. Dissatisfied with women in general, he seeks to create his perfect woman; one that he carves himself out of ivory. He names his sculpture “Galatea” (our listener). He falls desperately in love with his masterpiece and treats her as his wife, showering her with affection and lavish gifts. Despite all this, he is still quite lonely, as he knows she can never return his love. At a festival celebrating Aphrodite, Pygmalion prays for a bride of the same likeness as his Galatea. Sympathetic to Pygmalion’s plight, Aphrodite grants his wish, and Galatea is miraculously brought to life, which Pygmalion discovers when he returns home. The happy couple celebrates.
As always, feel free to improv as much or as little as you wish. I would love to hear your interpretation. And, if you do fill this, then please let me know!
