Odysseus has traveled over the waters, flirted with disaster, and bested every foe. And his friends and family hate him for it. As Odysseus tries to escape a fateful prophecy, he’ll face a murderous son, a semi-devoted wife, a scorned sea-witch, a boy with a cow, the cow itself, and a Greek chorus all trying to make sense of their lives when everything has always revolved around Odysseus. Adapted from the fragments of a lost Sophocles play, “Odysseus Dies at the End” examines the life a legend from the perspective of the people clinging to his coattails. Spoiler alert: he dies at the end.
