This is more than an adaptation of Homer’s epic poem. It is told by, from and to the audience from the perspective of an author wrestling with a story known by so many yet also owned by none. Who gets to write it every time it is told; the storyteller, the characters, the listener? Homer’s poem is the backbone of an evening of telling and hearing exciting stories, meeting classic characters, and finding a few surprises along the way.
