"Ladies from the Sea" reimagines the ending of Homer's Odyssey, presenting a more realistic and humorous account of Odysseus's return to Ithaca. A.D. Hope questions the ease with which Odysseus resumes his rule after slaughtering the suitors.
This play explores the potential unrest and challenges Odysseus would have faced, complicated by the unexpected arrivals of Calypso, Circe, and Nausicaa, the "Ladies from the Sea", each bearing their own unique impact on the hero's homecoming. With sharp wit, the play deflates the heroic image of Odysseus, revealing a middle-aged man grappling with the consequences of his long absence and amorous adventures. Prepare for a fresh, engaging take on a classic tale.
