Playthings
"Do you really wish to play?"
Playthings
By Nathania Bernabe and Jackie T. Hanlin
Affair of Honor creates an ancient action adventure in this thrilling, hilarious, and daring tale of mortals and Gods. With the ongoing onslaught of the Trojan War, tensions between the Greek Gods come to a head. Ares and Athena, two Gods of War, vent their frustrations by playing with the lives, deaths, and sanities, of two mortal Warrior-Queens.
This original story flashes across eras and fight styles, providing a dazzling display of fighting prowess and ability, interspersed with the modern, lively banter of the Gods.
Underneath the fiery exchanges of words and swords, the play takes a hard-hitting interrogation of what drives humanity to violence.
This show is being developed for touring.
This is Affair of Honor's first written work and was presented at the 2019 Edmonton International Fringe Festival and in 2021 Presentation House Theatre in association with the PHT Creative Hub Cooperative.
