The Odyssey

Mary Zimmerman’s The Odyssey is epic storytelling with a mischievous, modern twist.

Leeds Conservatoire in partnership with Leeds Playhouse present The Odyssey.

This bold retelling, blending Homer’s ancient myth with contemporary humour and irreverence, subverts expectation.

Odysseus’s journey becomes a playful, shape-shifting adventure story – highly physical, surprising and deeply human. Praised by the New York Times as ‘the greatest show in the sky, on the seas, even on earth with side trips to the underworld,’ this is theatre that will invite you to travel, not just to watch.

Daring, funny and visually inventive, The Odyssey is a voyage not to be missed. 

This amateur production of The Odyssey (ZIMMERMAN) is presented by arrangement with Concord Theatricals Ltd. on behalf of Samuel French, Inc
