A witty, irreverent romp in the universe of Greek mythology, seen through a midcentury B-movie filter: the gods Athena and Ares make a wager, meddle in the lives of mortals, and are surprised to find that their playthings have minds and objectives of their own. Original concept by Basil Considine; score and libretto by Jodi Goble. Workshopped by Really Spicy Opera and New Wave Opera; premiered in summer 2026 by Thousand Bridges Opera.
