"Hands of Light," tells a modern day story of King Midas, and the price of greed and getting what you want. It is also a perfect metaphor for Covid 19 and social distancing, ie, anyone King Midas touches becomes infected by his curse and turned to gold. Soon everyone in Midas jails turned to gold, Milla his daughter is turned to gold and his crops are failing, the people are starving. Midas must come face to face with the consequences of his obsession with gold. During the play Midas searches high and low for the cure to this curse. Not unlike Covid, once infected your DNA changes to gold.
