Produced by Robert Cicconetti, Jeannie Howse and the Online Distributed Proofreading Team at http://www.pgdp.net "No Great Magic" by Fritz Leiber is a science fiction novel written in the early 1960s. The story revolves around the theatrical exploits of a group of actors who find themselves blending reality and fiction, particularly as they explore the themes of historical figures and supernatural occurrences. Central to the narrative is the character Greta, who grapples with her amnesia and agoraphobia while getting swept up in the internal dynamics of a repertory theater company. At the start of the novel, readers are introduced to Greta, who navigates the chaotic atmosphere of a theater dressing room in Central Park as the actors prepare for a performance of Shakespeare's "Macbeth". The opening scene highlights her interactions with fellow actor Sid, whose flamboyant vision for a novel production contrasts with the traditional portrayal of the play. As tensions rise and confusion unfolds regarding the evening's performance—with the unexpected involvement of a character meant to represent Queen Elizabeth—Iris Nefer—Greta contemplates her own fears and the peculiarities of her existence. The mingling of theatrical elements with deeper existential questions sets the stage for a thought-provoking exploration of identity, creativity, and the weight of history.
