Penelope presents a fresh perspective on a classic story, focusing on Penelope's experiences while waiting for her husband, Odysseus, to return from war. With music, book, and lyrics by Alex Bechtel, this captivating production features Erica Spyres in a powerful performance that explores themes of heartache, loneliness, and self-discovery. Directed by Courtney O’Connor, the show has a vibrant score that weaves together jazz, folk, and indie rock, creating a modern lens through which to understand this iconic character. The show runs from February 6 to March 1, 2026, at the Lyric Stage Company of Boston.
At this time last year, the American Repertory Theater was premiering a stirring new dramatic adaptation of Homer’s “The Odyssey” by actor and playwright Kate Hamill, which moved back and forth between King Odysseus and Queen Penelope during a three-hour production with two intermissions.
Before the blockbuster film The Odyssey hits theaters this summer, hear the story told from the point of view of the woman waiting at home, Odysseus's wife, Penelope, at Lyric Stage Boston.
