The play weaves together elements of ancient mythology and contemporary themes, creating a unique theatrical experience that will resonate with audiences.

With original music by local composer Alex Rimes, and direction by Lucy Pitman-Wallace, The Penelopiad promises to be a powerful and unforgettable play, celebrating the voices of women who have been overlooked by history. Don’t miss your chance to witness this captivating production.
