Penelope at Theatre Elision

We've all heard the tale of Odysseus and his many adventures as he returns home from the Trojan War. But what about his wife back on Ithaca? Penelope tells the story of the wife who waits, told by one woman behind the piano through humor, bitterness, hope, and tenderness It is a musical love letter to all those who wait: For someone they love. For something they believe in. And hope that the wait will end well. An intimate and explosive music theater piece, Penelope invites the audience to join in a ritual act of storytelling to release the pent-up grief, anger, love and longing that are so familiar after the last four years.
