Divine revenge and human frailty clash in an outrageous modern epic.
Five people are gathered on an outdoor stairway. One man is seated on the top step talking to four younger individuals, two of whom are sitting on the steps and two on the ground.
Three people are in front of a red door. A man in a suit and a woman in a white dress are smiling and touching fists. Another woman in a hat and blazer stands between them, holding a bag.

About Cracking Zeus

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 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 by Christopher T. Hampton is a present-day myth about religion, dependency, and redemption. Directed by Reginald L. Douglas, Artistic Director of Mosaic Theater Company, featuring Christina Daniels, Charles Franklin IV, DeJeanette Horne, Dupre Isaiah, Destiny Jennings, Lolita Marie, Nicole Ruthmarie, and Jacobie Thornton.
