Penelope, or How The Odyssey Was Really WrittenIt’s funny, it’s fierce and, above all, it’s epic! For the last twenty years, Penelope has been waiting for her husband Odysseus to return from the Trojan War. Meanwhile, a bevy of suitors have gathered, each wanting to marry her and take over the kingdom. Since they have little else to do but eat and drink, they decide to form an a capella group. To stall them, Penelope writes letters to herself and pretends they’re from Odysseus saying he’s on his way. Little does she know, her letters gathered together are creating the story of The Odyssey. |

2 Piano/Conductor Scores
