The Odyssey
by Rick Chafe
Odysseus is twenty years gone from Ithaca.
Penelope has bluffed and delayed a growing band of murderous suitors,
but as threats to her son and kingdom grow, her resolve weakens. Now
a beggar arrives at the palace and asks the queen to hold off a new
marriage until she’s heard his story – fantastic tales of her husband’s
travels among monsters, witches and gods. Penelope finds herself battling
her husband’s very legend over fidelity, her kingdom and her vengeance.
“Given [the story’s] climate
of deceit and cultivated confusion, it’s amazing that Chafe has written
a play of such clarity and resolution. Like his cagey hero, not to mention
his uncaged heroine, [Chafe] is himself a man of many turns.”
