    Lyrical, tender, and deeply resonant, Son of Apollo reimagines myth through a moving exploration of masculinity, identity, and parental love. Willis gives Phaethon’s longing for recognition real urgency, while grounding the piece in compassion and theatrical beauty.

    Incredibly lyrical and grounded exploration of how to be someone's child and the questions that so often leaves. To change one's name, to live their truth, to not know what that truth looks like, to need home still to be there when the world is a sunburn--this play dashes like light in snatches to be caught. Desperate to direct it, thoroughly theatrical.

    When your dad is the very well known picture of masculinity, and you’ve discovered that you may have inherited some of this (likely against the wishes of your parents), it takes a lot of courage to introduce your authentic self to the people closest to you. This is Phaethon’s dilemma in SON OF APOLLO, and it’s a narrative that continues to resonate generationally.

    “You are what you say you are/that’s how it works,” Clymene tells her son, Phaethon. This is a powerful play about a young offspring trying to prove his masculinity to the father he wants love and affirmation from, and the mother who gives him kind words of affirmation and acceptance. Beautifully written with strong roles for actors.
