Get Her to the Greek

Behind every man is a woman. Or, sometimes, 11.

That is the case in Alberta Theatre Projects season opener, The
Penelopiad by Margaret Atwood. Based on “The Odyssey,” the tale
of Odysseuss long journey home after the fall of Troy, The Penelopiad,
is retold from the point of view of Odysseuss Penelope and her 10 maids,
whom Odysseus has murdered upon his return.

Set in Hades, the show stars Meg Roe (who was marvelous in The
Syringa Tree) as Penelope, and focuses on the relationships between
her and her attendants.

Runs until October 10, www.atplive.com
