A new dramatization of the oldest and greatest story of homecoming. When Odysseus went to war twenty years ago, his son was an infant and his wife was a vibrant, hopeful young woman. Now his son is a young man plagued by doubt, and his wife has endured years of loneliness and grief.
Has war and the long terrible journey home changed him so much that he can no longer fit into his home? And has his home changed so much that it is no longer the haven he seeks?
This is the complicated story of a complicated man: war hero and war criminal; adulterer and loving husband; absent father and cherished good father. Odysseus meets many famous monsters on his journey, but is the worst monster the one he is carrying within himself?
Written and Directed by David Richman, Assistant Director: Rachel Bergeron (’20)
