Penelope @ Theatre Horizon

A Musical Love-Letter to Those Who Wait

Music and Lyrics by Alex Bechtel
Book by Alex Bechtel, Grace McLean, and Eva Steinmetz
Based on writings in The Odyssey by Homer

"It'll be a quick war," he says, "I'll come home right after," he says. Twenty years later, we need a drink.

With a cocktail in one hand and a microphone in the other, Penelope takes to the stage to tell the story of her epic twenty-year wait on her tiny island kingdom 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.
