February 26: The Penelopiad by Margaret Atwood. Directed by Ameenah Kaplan.

The Odyssey from the viewpoint of Odysseus' wife. The lady in question, Penelope, reflects on her husband's exploits, as well as her own personal relationships and her time in Hades. Meanwhile a Chorus of 12 maids chimes in with their own take on events. A moving and darkly funny commentary on war and the women left behind. (Contains adult themes).
