SUMMARY:Acton COA Presents: The Odyssey Dramatic Performance with Poornima Kirby and Stephen Collins
DESCRIPTION:What is the cost of our choices? Can love sustain across time\, war and distance? Can you ever really find your way home? Join actors Stephen Collins and Poornima Kirby as they take on this 3\,000-year epic about the adventures of a wily and complicated traveler. Poornima’s adaptation draws from multiple translations\, punctuated with poetry and sea-chanties to connect this age-old epic to our modern time. Told as a marital squabble between Odysseus and his wife Penelope\, the story weaves through Odysseus’ travels and to his arrival in Ithaca to face the fall-out of his absence and find out if he can really come home. With Stephen Collins as the funny\, damaged\, scheming Odysseus and Poornima flowing nimbly between Penelope\, Calypso\, Circe\, the Cyclops and many more characters this artistic\, playful adaptation explores the universal human needs that run through this ancient poem. \nOpen to out-of-town 60+ for $5 \nRegistration required. Call the Senior Center at 978-929-6652 to register.
