Two Plays by Aleister Crowley

Aleister Crowley's forgotten plays finally get the spotlight they deserve. Tannhäuser tells the story of a poet-knight caught between pleasure and purpose, tempted by the goddess Venus and driven by the need to redeem himself through love and truth. Household Gods brings that same struggle into everyday life, where an ordinary family's quarrels and routines become a test of self-awareness, honesty, and choice.

Together, these plays show two sides of Crowley's vision - the heroic and the human - revealing how every decision, from the grand to the mundane, can shape who we become.

This edition includes both plays in full, along with a Reader's Guide that explores Crowley's life, the ideas behind his work, and more. If you've only heard the myth, this is the work. If you already know the name, this is the side that lasts: plays about will, conscience, and change-on a grand stage and at the kitchen table.
