The Acting Company: “Odyssey,” Written and Directed By Lisa Peterson

Live Performance 

Adapted and directed by Lisa Peterson
Translated by Emily Wilson 

What will you do to go home again? Lisa Peterson’s stage adaptation of The Odyssey, performed by Members of The Acting Company, brings new life to this ancient epic. Four young women trapped in the limbo of a refugee camp retell Odysseus’ adventures as they struggle with their own search for a home. A production based on the revelatory new translation by Emily Wilson, its bold theatricality brings new humor and grace to a story we all think we know. 

Two-time Obie award winner Lisa Peterson also won a Lortel Award for co-writing and directing An Iliad in 2012. 

Appropriate for ages 13+
