Event Description:

Meg Roe (The Syringa Tree 2008, 2005) plus 10 Calgary actresses sweep you up in a totally unprecedented theatrical experience by literary icon Margaret Atwood.

Penelope’s maids are only a footnote in the story of The Odyssey. But who were those unknown women? And what is the cost of our actions, on family, fellows and innocent bystanders?

The play premiered at London’s Royal Shakespeare Company and the National Arts Centre in Ottawa in 2007.
