Fetus surrounded by many animals in a swirl by Katie Leavens

Every year The San Francisco Olympians Fest chooses a period of myth and folklore to have playwrites write completely new plays or scenes for. Sometimes they are just rewritings of the old tales, other times they are a reimagining in modern times. This year the them was Celtic mythology. During the 12 nights of the festival, there were 36 stage readings these new plays.
