The Storyteller features acclaimed actors as well as original creatures and characters from Jim Henson’s Creature Shop. John Hurt played the title role, aided by his cynical dog (performed by Brian Henson). The episodes include appearances by Miranda Richardson, Sean Bean, Brenda Blethyn, Gabrielle Anwar, Jennifer Saunders, Jane Horrocks, and Jonathan Pryce.
Academy Award-winner Anthony Minghella wrote the episodes, which went on to win both Emmy and BAFTA awards.
The second iteration of The Storyteller, Greek Myths, focused on ancient Greek tales of gods, heroes, and legends. Stories include Orpheus and Eurydice, Daedalus and Icarus, Perseus and the Gorgon, and Theseus and the Minotaur. The Storyteller: Greek Myths starred Michael Gambon in the title role.
