The Penelopiad

Picture
Written by Margaret Atwood

Jan. 19th - 28th, 2018
Fred Thury Studio Theatre, 258 Vanier College 

Relaxed performance is Saturday, Jan. 27th 

Destined to spend eternity in Hades, Penelope recounts her life story and the murder of her twelve handmaidens by her vengeful husband Odysseus. This stunning piece of post-modern theatre retells the iconic love story between Odysseus and Penelope. Unlike Homer's classic poem however, it's told from Penelope's perspective and by her 12 handmaidens who were brutally hanged upon Odysseus' return. A provocative new look at a woman's longing, lust and culpability.
