The Odyssey: A Play
"Mary Zimmerman can tell classic stories onstage, brilliantly. Part of [her] success emanates from her unique amalgam of deep intelligence and respect for the text, on the one hand, couple with her wild, sensual imagination on the other. Once she understands a great work, she plays with it."--<i>Wall Street Journal</i>"The Odysseyis a smart, singular example of Mary Zimmerman's unique work in the theater -- vivid in imagery, rich in imagination, witty, and thoughtful in its lively adaptation of a classic work for a contemporary audience." --Richard Christiansen, critic and author of <i>A Theater of Our Own: A History and a Memoir of 1,001 Nights in Chicago</i>"Not of one age but of all ages. . . . ThisOdysseyis grand theater."
