King Midas and the Touch of Gold

This Greek myth about a King who had untold riches but was greedy for more gold comes to life in a show which appeals to all ages. King Midas is a ruler whose greed for gold ends up costing him more than he imagined. His wish that everything he touches turns to gold is granted, but that wish does not bring him the joy he expected but great distress. He truly learns that gold cannot buy happiness.
