Description
xWith her trademark irreverent and witty twist on classic works, Zimmerman brings to life the story of Odysseus's ten-year journey
This dramatic adaptation of Homer's myth begins with a modern young woman who is 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. Zimmerman's adaptation depicts his encounters with characters such as Circe, the Cyclops, Poseidon, Calypso, the Sirens, and others in new and exciting ways.
