Homer's Odyssey tells the story of Odysseus's ten year journey home to
Ithaca after the ten year Trojan War, fraught with many perils, mythic
creatures, and divine beings. By the time he makes it back to Ithaca, he
finds his home overrun with one hundred and eight suitors all vying for his
faithful and cunning wife Penelope's hand in marriage. Odysseus, with help
from his son Telemachus and his patron goddess Athena, kills all of the
suitors and the twelve palace maids found to be disloyal. Told by her and
her twelve maids from beyond the grave, Penelope’s story varies little from
the classic tale told by Homer, except in pointing out that there are other
explanations for the heroic escapades.

*" 'The Penelopiad' is a delicious slice of Canadian theatre at its best,
from its dark beginning to its startlingly poignant end."* -The London Free
Press
