The Odyssey
Performance Dates: May 14-16, 21-23
Performance Times: 7:00 pm
Performance Location: Tremper Studio Theater (Room 120)
Synopsis: This dramatic adaptation of Homer’s myth begins with a modern young woman struggling to understand Robert Fitzgerald’s translation of The Odyssey. A classical muse appears, and the young woman becomes the goddess Athena – a tireless advocate for Odysseus in his struggle to get home. With her trademark irreverent and witty twist on classic works, Zimmerman brings to life the story of Odysseus’ ten-year journey home, depicting his encounters with characters such as Circe, the Cyclops, Poseidon, Calypso, the Sirens and others.
