"Household Gods: A Comedy by Aleister Crowley" is a story from the early 1900's that mixes fun and sadness as it looks at love, wanting something, and how humans and gods might connect. You'll find yourself in the home of Crassus, a gloomy guy, and his classy Roman wife, Adela, along with their servant girl, Alicia. Crassus is really bummed because Adela seems more interested in nature and a faun. Alicia steps up, tempting and testing Crassus as she seems to link him to the god Pan. Through musical chats and moments of teasing, the characters discover mind-blowing truths by dealing with disloyalty while digging deep into who they are; that makes them face their deep, shared journeys.
