I’m always up for looking for interesting public domain works we might adapt for Jabberwocky Audio Theater, and as you may imagine, that’s meant various science fiction, fantasy, and horror works from the 1920s.

Now, I will disagree with the title of the video because I absolutely will be reading a copy of this… though, truth be told, I’m not thinking we’d 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. I’m pretty sure that’s laid out in Aristotle’s Poetics.
