Penelope

Underbelly, Cowgate Show Dates: 5 Aug 2026-30 Aug 2026

Penelope waited twenty years for Odysseus to return from the Trojan War. Now she's ready to share her side of the story – but she's going to need a drink first. Starring Broadway's 'phenomenal' Grace McLean (New York Times), this contemporary chamber musical brings one of history's greatest epics to life through a Richard Rodgers Award-winning folk-pop score. Sharp, funny and unexpectedly moving – this is The Odyssey as Penelope always meant it to be told. 'The way this show's music wraps itself around the book and lyrics feels so thoroughly intimate it's nigh on sexual' (WashingtonPost.com).
