“It’ll be a quick war,” he says, “I’ll come home right after,” he says. Twenty years later, it’s time for a drink.

With a cocktail in one hand and a microphone in the other, Penelope takes the stage to tell the epic story of her twenty-year wait on the tiny island of Ithaca while her husband, Odysseus, was off playing at war. This new one-woman musical from Alex Bechtel (The Appointment) and Eva Steinmetz (Poor Judge) combines soulful songs with a wit drier than your favorite martini to tell a story that is both intimate and explosive.
