The Penelopiad

THE PENELOPIAD
by Margaret Atwood

Destined to spend eternity in Hades, Penelope recounts her life story and the murder of her twelve handmaidens by her vengeful husband Odysseus. This stunning piece of post-modern theatre retells the iconic love story between Odysseus and Penelope. Unlike Homer's classic poem however, it's told from Penelope's perspective and by her 12 handmaidens who were brutally hanged upon Odysseus' return. A provocative new look at a woman's longing, lust and culpability.
