About this title

Synopsis

Step into a bold, satirical epic that fuses myth, theater, and fantasy into one outrageous pantomime.
This edition presents Goethe: A New Pantomime as a wild mash‑up where grand scenery, playful language, and moral reflections collide. Expect larger‑than‑life characters, fantastical machinery, and a sharp, often cheeky voice that questions fame, virtue, and the fate of the world.

The text invites readers to follow a journey through heavenly and infernal realms, where poets, demons, and rulers collide with wit and whimsy. It mixes mock‑theatrical performance with philosophical edges, offering a dramatic experience that is as inventive as it is provocative.

• Vivid stagecraft and fantastical scenes that push the boundaries of traditional pantomime


• A blend of satire, myth, and moral inquiry through larger‑than‑life figures


• Shifts between comic and solemn tones, with a tongue‑in‑cheek critique of power and greed


• Prompts for readers to consider art, truth, and the nature of judgment itself

Ideal for readers who enjoy theatrical surprises, bold poetry, and a playful yet piercing look at human folly.
