Frequently Asked Questions

What are the Rites of Eleusis?
The Rites of Eleusis are a series of seven plays written by Aleister Crowley in 1910 and performed in succession that year. They are regularly performed by OTO bodies around the world.

How did you get started? Why are you doing the Rites out of order?
That's a long story.

Will you be doing more of the Rites of Eleusis in the future?
Yes!!! The Rite of Venus, is scheduled for June/July 2007. Audio samples are available. The Rite of Mercury is tentatively scheduled for Summer 2009.

Why does it take so long between shows?
While the scripts for the Rites of Eleusis are already written, there is not much blocking or characterization in them. They were intended to be performed in a more ritual fashion. We analyze the script and interpret the story, then compose all of the music. Then we begin the process of finding the cast and producing the show.
