A Riveting Reimagining of Greek Mythology by Margaret Atwood comes to the stage. Prepare to experience the timeless story of Penelope, the legendary wife of Odysseus, like never before in The Penelopiad, a captivating play by acclaimed author Margaret Atwood. Drawing inspiration from Homer’s Odyssey, Atwood’s sharp and inventive retelling offers a modern, feminist perspective on the iconic myth, reimagining Penelope’s story with wit, intelligence, and boldness. Penelope, often portrayed as the patient and passive figure waiting for her husband’s return, takes centre stage as a strong and articulate narrator. Through her eyes, we explore the complexities of loyalty, identity, and survival in a male-dominated world. In this engaging production, Penelope is joined by the chorus of twelve maids who provide their own voices and challenge the narrative of history. With Atwood’s signature blend of humour, emotion, and social commentary, The Penelopiad offers a thought-provoking exploration of power dynamics, gender roles, and the untold stories of women. The play weaves together elements of ancient mythology and contemporary themes, creating a unique theatrical experience that will resonate with audiences. With original music by local composer Alex Rimes, and direction by Lucy Pitman-Wallace, The Penelopiad promises to be a powerful and unforgettable play, celebrating the voices of women who have been overlooked by history. Don’t miss your chance to witness this captivating production.
