The Odyssey (Zimmerman)
by Mary Zimmerman
Synopsis
This dramatic adaptation of Homer’s myth begins with a modern young woman struggling to understand Robert Fitzgerald’s translation of The Odyssey .
A classical muse appears, and the young woman becomes the goddess Athena – a tireless advocate for Odysseus in his struggle to get home.
With her trademark irreverent and witty twist on classic works, Zimmerman brings to life the story of Odysseus’ ten-year journey home, depicting his encounters with characters such as Circe, the Cyclops, Poseidon, Calypso, the Sirens and others.
