Well, the director wasn’t keen on the helmets because he wants to preserve the uniqueness of Athena’s helm and feels that it will be less special if everyone gets one.

I argued that since the play is supposed to use things that come off of the Odysseus’s ship, that helms make a good deal of sense. I think they lend a consistency to the abstractions in the show.

He really wants Athena to be the only one with a helmet and he also wants movement and beards. So, these are the thumbnails I’m sending up to him.

Thankfully, he liked everything else I sent him.
