Lyric Hammersmith
The Odyssey
A retelling by David Farr after Homer
A bedraggled and desperate stranger is washed up on the shores of a great city. Challenged by two immigration officers, he claims to be Odysseus, sacker of Troy.
David Farr brings Homer’s great epic crashing into the twenty first century. Ensemble acting, live music and puppetry combine to tell the story of one of history’s most enduring heroes, who won a war but lost everything in his search for home.
