The Odyssey: an Adaptation of Homer's Classic in Two Acts Marynell Hinton

"Sing to me, O muse, of the clever man..." So begins the most enduring epic of Western literature. But why has this particular story remained on the tongues of storytellers for 3500 years? What has drawn generations to tell the trials of Odysseus, or retell them as Sinbad the Sailor or O, Brother Where Art Thou? Playwrights Tobin Atkinson and Marynell Hinto find out in this original adaptation commissioned and premiered by Meat & Potato Theatre. Five actors bring all twenty-five characters to life in this critically-acclaimed play about a soldiers trying to return home after ten long years of war. "Tobin Atkinson and Marynell Hinton turn this new version of The Odyssey into a combination of epic adventure and a simple, human tale of self-knowledge." City Weekly
