Odysseus Dies at the End

3m, 3f, 4 any, flexible ensemble

Odysseus has traveled over the waters, flirted with disaster, and bested every foe. And his friends and family hate him for it.

As he tries to escape a fateful prophecy, he faces a murderous son, a semi-devoted wife, a scorned sea-witch, a boy with a cow, the cow itself, and a Greek chorus all trying to make sense of their lives (when everything has always revolved around Odysseus). Surprisingly adapted from the fragments of a lost Sophocles play, Odysseus Dies at the End examines the life a legend from the perspective of the people clinging to his coattails.

Spoiler alert: he dies at the end.
