The Odyssey at American Repertory Theater

The Odyssey

Kate Hamill's new adaptation of Homer's Odyssey is sailing home this spring for a new adventure. Hamill, who has been named Playwright of the Year by the Wall Street Journal, focuses on reimagining classics through the lens of feminism, adapting their emotional journeys for the modern age. Her retelling of The Odyssey is no different, as she flips the story on its head instead choosing to discuss how one processes the trauma of war, how we can end the cycles of violence, and just what did Penelope do while Odysseus was away. Award-winning director Shana Cooper will take the helm on this epic voyage, so pick up your armor and shield for the adventure of a lifetime!
