The Odyssey

The Odyssey

The Odyssey adapted by Mary Zimmerman

Directed by Ryan McBryde 

From the translation of The Odyssey by Robert Fitzgerald

 (The Quarry Theatre, Leeds Playhouse) 

Mary Zimmerman’s The Odyssey is epic storytelling with a mischievous, modern twist. This bold retelling subverts expectation, blending Homer’s ancient myth with contemporary humour and irreverence. 

Odysseus’s journey becomes a playful, shape-shifting adventure story - highly physical, surprising and deeply human. Praised by the New York Times as “the greatest show in the sky, on the seas, even on earth with side trips to the underworld,” this is theatre that invites audiences to travel, not just to watch. Daring, funny and visually inventive, The Odyssey is a voyage not to be missed.
