The Penelopiad

20/05/2025 - 24/05/2025

Prepare to experience the timeless story of Penelope, the legendary wife of Odysseus, like never before in The Penelopiad, a captivating play by acclaimed author Margaret Atwood. Drawing inspiration from Homer’s Odyssey, Atwood’s sharp and inventive retelling offers a modern, feminist perspective on the iconic myth, reimagining Penelope’s story with wit, intelligence, and boldness. Penelope, often portrayed as the patient and passive figure waiting for her husband’s return, takes centre stage as a strong and articulate narrator. Through her eyes, we explore the complexities of loyalty, identity, and survival in a male-dominated world.
