I have given myself to a possibility of love with you! But you have turned me into this, you have reduced me, Penelope… to a fat man in SPEEDOS.
It’s 11.30am and already it’s 33 degrees Celsius. At the bottom of a drained swimming pool, four ridiculous men play for an unwinnable love. Uproarious, farcical and bizarre, a slice of Homer’s Odyssey is re-imagined in a surreal fable for our times.
Druid renews its celebrated partnership with Enda Walsh, following their worldwide sell-out and Edinburgh Fringe First winning productions The New Electric Ballroom and The Walworth Farce. They join forces once again with The Walworth Farce director Mikel Murfi in this exhilarating new offering.
‘Walsh confirms himself as one of the most dazzling wordsmiths of contemporary theatre.’
