KINGFISHERS
|
Thursday, June 27, 2013
Created by Kelly Colburn and Lauren Ulrich 
|
Based loosely on the greek myth Alcyone and Ceyx, Kingfishers re-invents the tale of love and loss on Coney Island. Alcyone falls in love with a handsome sailor during Fleet Week but their love is destined to end when he is called away to war. On the first night at sea, a storm overtakes their ship and all are drowned, Ceyx included. As the days go on, Alcyone falls into a deep depression, unknowing that Ceyx is dead, and her parents (who are conveniently Zeus and Hera) set aside their differences and enlist the help of the other Gods to tell her of his fate and in the process rekindle their marriage.
