Penelope

Penelope

PENELOPE waited twenty years for Odysseus to return from the Trojan War. Now she’s ready to share her side of the story – but she’s going to need a drink first.

Starring Broadway’s ‘phenomenalGrace McLean (New York Times), this contemporary chamber musical brings one of history’s greatest epics to life through a Richard Rodgers Award-winning folk-pop score. Sharp, funny, and unexpectedly moving — this is The Odyssey as Penelope always meant it to be told.
