Special Offer: CRACKING ZEUS at Spooky Action Theater

Have you ever considered what crack cocaine might do to the powers of a Greek god? And what would happen if Zeus’ newest illegitimate child was the son of a pastor? This outrageous provocation takes center stage in Christopher T. Hampton’s ingenious contemporary epic.

Hera, a goddess with a grudge to settle, has found her husband Zeus’ newest illegitimate child. On the outside, Baniaha is a pillar of his community: he helps his mother run her church while mentoring orphaned youth. On the inside, he is lost: the mystery of his paternity leaves him yearning for answers. When Hera arrives to exact her revenge with the help of Rufus, a homeless crack addict she thinks she can exploit, relationships are strained and faith is put to the test. This WILDLY INVENTIVE DARK COMEDY is a present-day myth about religion, dependency, and redemption.
