In this episode, the short comedy, an Apocalyptic Apotheosis, better known as the Herc play, our beloved Olympians, upon the news of Hercules’s incineration, have a spirited conversation about the pluses and minuses of Zeus’s desire to grant his son, not by Hera,  immortality. This could include a throne on Olympus and that unnerves many, as it would upset the divine status quo. But as always, this Olympian discussion quickly devolves into accusations, mostly by the gods, of excessive meddling by Hera during Herc’s 12 labors. Typical phallocratic pack behavior! How will Hera defend herself against these trumped up charges? What was the nature of her meddling in the first place? Is there any justification for these accusations? Once the dust has settled, does Herc actually get deified and become a god? Stay tuned for the resolution of those burning questions and also, arguably, of even more important questions herein - will Hephaestus ever get a clue? what are pants? and, what, pray tell, is a porter?   

Now, before you dive into the play itself, there is a brief introduction and then you will hear the cast introduce themselves, in their own words yet not in any particular order.

As always, embrace the random and unexpected and, specifically in this case [heh-heh, case one good trial deserves another], the dysfunctional and dystractible.
