Homer’s 8th century BCE poem “The Odyssey” is about the Greek hero Ulysses, who is presumed dead by his wife and son after he is sent on a 10-year journey after the decade-long Trojan War by the displeased sea-god Poseidon. 



In Sharr White’s fractured, one-act treatment of this epic tale – which received its Off-Broadway premiere in 2014 – Ulysses has finally come home.  And home is a dilapidated trailer squatting somewhere in an unattractive part of the West Elk Mountain range of Colorado.  



The play is getting a beautifully performed but anemically designed production at none too fragile.
