Take a peek into the last day before Odysseus’ return home to his loving wife, Penelope, through the eyes of the last of the teenage slobs who have taken up residence in her backyard. Through pool noodle warfare, elaborate performances, and the occasional moment of open-hearted honesty, Burns, Quinn, Fitz, and Dunne spend their last days faithfully attempting to court Penelope. As these four buffoons fight to prove their dominance a sort of surveillance state, they somehow stumble upon a truth or two about our meager existence. Enda Walsh’s masterful tragicomedy asks its audience: how do we love well?
Brace yourselves for fifty minutes of sausage analysis, inflatable furniture, and lots of solo cups.
