Review for "Like a Bat Out of Hades"

"Revisiting a theme from Greco-Roman mythology in the traditional style and costumes of Italian Commedia dell’Arte, Ombelico Mask Ensemble’s original adaptation (Alessandro Fani) of Euripides’ Alcestis, which premiered earlier this summer in Florence, is a fun-filled free outdoor treat for the whole family." -Review from Phindie.com by Debra Miller
