A true war story is never moral.

Tim O’Brien, The Things They Carried

Acclaimed writer and adaptor Kate Hamill (Sense & Sensibility, Vanity Fair, Dracula) turns a contemporary lens on Homer’s Odyssey in this new play that reimagines the stories of both Odysseus and his wife, Penelope, and asks how we can learn to embrace healing and forgiveness in order to end cycles of violence and revenge.

Recommended for ages 14+.

By Kate Hamill
Directed by Shana Cooper
Adapted from the epic by Homer

Cambridge Day

Homer wrote The Odyssey; Hamill rewrote it.

Hamill says workshops for the epic never fail to draw parallels to contemporary conflicts—as long as there is violence in the world, the Odyssey will be relevant… “There’s lots of swearing in this play, there’s sex in this play, there’s certainly violence in this play, because I want it to feel real to people who are in combat,” Hamill said.
