A Nightwood Theatre Production
Written by Margaret Atwood
Directed by Kelly Thornton

As the old Proverb states, “There are two sides to every coin." One of the most famous ancient Greek poems, Homer's The Odyssey, is well known for its hero Odysseus, who spends 20 years away from his wife, Penelope, and son, Telemachus, fighting in the Trojan War. Penelope is faithful and patient as she waits for her husband to return, typical characteristics of women in mythology. But who was Penelope, and what happened while her husband was away for all of those years?
