Nostos: Homecoming
Mon-Fri 1pm
Relaxed show Thurs
This play is set in bronze age Greece in a time when heroes and gods lived among one
another. The Odyssey is a tale of homecoming, but not only that. It tells the journey of one
man, namely Odysseus, who has been away from his home, Ithaca, for twenty years, after
he fought in the Trojan war. The play has taken some episodes from the poem and adapted
them for an audience.
In particular, we will encounter Penelope, his wife, who waited twenty years at home for him,
with the company of her maid Eurycleia. Telemachus, the son of Odysseus, is also at home
and is depicted in our play as an aimless young man, left in Ithaca as a prince. In the
meantime, in the palace, the men of Ithaca - suitors of Penelope - try to win her hand,
presuming Odysseus is dead.
