The 1940s hairdos bring out a tougher side of O’Donnell, especially in “The Judgment of Paris: Hera.” The goddess, who was rejected by Paris in favor of Aphrodite, is paired with a peacock that seems to be loudly protesting her choice of dress (it’s decorated with peacock feathers). Between the bird’s all but audible squawk and Hera’s lidded, remonstrative eyes, there’s some serious comic tension here.
