We’re always up for looking for interesting public domain works we might adapt for Jabberwocky Audio Theater, which folks may have noticed with our series Through the Looking Glass and Through a Glass, Darkly. So currently, we’ve been looking at various science fiction, fantasy, and horror from the 1920s.

But apparently, we haven’t been looking back far enough because there’s a space opera from [checks notes] Ancient Greece?!?

We’ll let Austin McConnell take it from here:

Now, there’s a slight pushback with the title of the video (“…you’ll never read”) because we absolutely will be reading a copy of this… though, truth be told, we would not do a faithful adaptation of it based on what is described, but there might be room for a loose adaptation, possibly romping through tropes of ancient myth.

Whatever the case, if we do it, it’ll be for one of our in-person production with live sound effects including a cowbell and slide whistle. Such things are laid out in Aristotle’s Poetics, right?
