Back by popular demand, Swamp Meadow Community Theatre proudly presents The Odyssey Speedrun: 24 Books in 60 Minutes!
Written by Rhode Island playwright Audrey Dubois, we are excited to go on this EPIC adventure when this age-old story gets retold, now with a cast of all ages.
Odysseus has been away at sea for a long time. A REALLY long time. Twenty years, in fact. And he would do anything to get back to his family. Along the way, he crosses paths with a cyclops that herds sheep, a princess who doesn’t like laundry, a witch who turns people into pigs, and a VERY angry sea god. With so many obstacles between here and there, how will Odysseus ever manage to get home?
