This Immortal Coil: A Review of Prometheus Bound at City Lit Theater

Newcity Stage: Prometheus is the titan who molded mortals from clay, who stole the fire of the gods for them, and who dared to sweeten their lives with hope. When—goaded by Power and Force—flaming-haired Hephaestus pins him with unbreakable chains and a spike of adamant to the steep rock where Zeus has banished him, Prometheus (Mark Pracht) spits a globule of blood from a mouth that otherwise spends the next eighty-odd minutes preaching and moaning with a smugness that makes this all-too-human god difficult to pity or admire.
