Penelope

Music and Lyrics by Alex Bechtel

Book by Alex Bechtel, Grace McLean, and Eva Steinmetz

Based on writings in The Odyssey by Homer

Directed by Justin Been

Penelope has been waiting ten long years for Odysseus to come home—and she has some things to say. Settle in as this whip-smart, modern retelling of an ancient myth gives voice to the woman left behind. With a beautiful folk-inflected pop score, Penelope shares her side of the story: the heartbreak, the hope, the suitors, the silence, and the strength it takes to hold a life together alone. Sometimes the greatest odyssey is the one within.
