How do you love a god? Wholly, completely, and without regard for the future. But after seventeen years of living amongst the Gods, Adonis starts to wonder if he wants more from life than to be a spoil of war. This retelling of the myth of Adonis and Aphrodite weaves a powerful story about power, choice, and agency.
Adonis and the Gods at War depicts an emotionally abusive relationship with a significant age and power disparity. There are several mentions of incest consistant with greek mythology, though it is not depicted onstage. A character is thrown to the ground and threatened in the show, and at one point there is an injury where a character is visibly bleeding.
A script sample and extended content note are available for this show. This show will have masked performances on Friday June 14th at 8:30pm and Saturday June 22nd at 7:00pm
