The greatest adventure story of all time comes to the stage. An old man enters the
court of Ithaca where Queen Penelope and her son Telemachus have waited years for
King Odysseus to return from the War with Troy. The old man says he sailed with the
famous Greek hero and his tale comes to life before our eyes.
But who is the old man and why has he come so far to tell this story?
It turns out it is Odysseus himself, disguised by the goddess Athena so that he can be reunited with his family and be revenged on those who plan to steal his kingdom.
Presented by arrangement with Concord Theatricals on behalf of Samuel French Inc. | concordtheatricals.com
