PENELOPE at Gallatin

You are invited to
a workshop presentation of
PENELOPE
by Ellen McLaughlin
and composer Sarah Kirkland Snyder
Directed by Lisa Rothe
A woman's ex-husband appears at her door after
an absence of 20 years, suffering from brain damage.
A veteran of a modern war, he doesn't know who he is
and she doesn't know who he's become.
While they wait together for his return to himself, she reads him 'The Odyssey,'
and in the journey of that book, she finds a way into her former husband's memory
and the terror and trauma of war.
