Penelope (Walsh)
by Enda Walsh
Synopsis
It’s 11:30 a.m. and already it’s ninety-two degrees.
At the bottom of a drained swimming pool, four ridiculous men connive, plot, and play for an unwinnable love, even as they face certain death at the hands of her returning husband.
A riveting and savage take on the classic Greek myth of Penelope, wife of Odysseus.
Press Reviews

— The New York Times
"The 90-minute piece constantly stimulates the nervous system."
— The Guardian
"Walsh’s dexterity lets us laugh at and evaluate and savor the predicaments of these men, even as we’re chilled to the bone."
— The Washington Post
