ABOUT

What will you do to go home again? Lisa Peterson’s adaptation of The Odyssey brings new life to this ancient epic. Four young women trapped in the limbo of a refugee camp retell Odysseus’ adventures as they struggle with their own search for a home. A production based on the revelatory new translation by Emily Wilson, its bold theatricality brings new humor and grace to a story we all think we know.

With past alumni like Kevin Kline, Patti LuPone, Jeffrey Wright, and many more, The Acting Company returns after many years for this new production.
