The Visions of the Lovers of Adonis
Venus is in love with a man. Diana’s sworn off love. Mars wants power. And Cupid just wants his parents together. What is the essence of love? What drives desire? Can toxic masculinity be redeemed?
Against the backdrop of Roman Mythology from Ovid’s Metamorphosis with the thematic skeleton of the Visions of the Daughters of Albion and the questions posed in Milton’s Comus this show in verse attempts to dissect the nature of love and desire.
