The Myth of Atlas and Heracles retold and performed by Dick Hill and Susie Breck.

Condemned to shoulder the world "for ever" by the gods he dared defy, freedom seems unattainable to Atlas. But then he receives an unexpected visit from Heracles, the one man strong enough to share the burden, and it seems they can strike a bargain that might release him....

Jeanette Winterson asks difficult questions about the nature of choice and coercion in her dazzling retelling of the myth of Atlas and Heracles.

I did not get to hear the myths. Just the author's spin to suit her purposes. I did not need to hear about pricks and maturation and hard-ons.
