O: A Rhapsody in Divorce, written by Jami Brandli and directed by Jessica Hanna, reimagines The Odyssey through a modern lens, following O, a neurobiologist in her 40s whose husband asks for a separation but refuses to leave their home. Displaced and untethered, O embarks on a couch-hopping journey that blends memory, science, and surreal theatricality as she works to reassemble her life. The play weaves in the neurobiology of heartbreak—from dopamine-driven reward systems to the brain's response to emotional separation—framing divorce not as an ending but as a turning point. Tania Verafield leads the cast as O, alongside Donna Simone Johnson, Rose Portillo, Alexandra Lee, and Andrew Brian Carter.
Outside In Theatre has extended its world-premiere production of O: A Rhapsody In Divorce following sold-out performances at its Highland Park black box. Playwright Jami Brandli will also lead a free writing workshop during the run.
Outside In Theatre will present the world premiere of O: A Rhapsody In Divorce, written by Jami Brandli and directed by Jessica Hanna, with previews beginning May 9 and performances running May 17 through June 9, 2026.
