The Light Princess

The "Light Princess" is light because she weighs nothing. The King forgot to invite his witch relative, and she cursed the girl to be "immune" to gravity. This made for an interesting life growing up. However, she did discover that gravity had a normal impact when she was in water. Thus she met a her prince int he water, and through his sacrifice he saved the girl and the kingdom. It is an enjoyable fairy tale and well done full cast production.

Hercules

Hercules is one of those characters from Greek mythology that I have heard of frequently, but don't seem to know his history. Thus this Full Cast Audio production was a great treat. Hercules had the connection to the gods, but was raised as a mortal. He had strong morals and discovered his strength. Alas, when he would violate his own code, the results would be disastrous. In one case, he caved to drinking a toast with wine. This, alas, led him to cause great destruction. He tried to do what is best, but would often fall victim to the designs of those around him.
