The Magical Voyage of Ulysses
The Red Brick Auditorium, Square Chapel, Haliax
March 1996
Troy has fallen ... The captains and the kings depart, some like Nestor to a happy homecoming, others like Agamemnon to a bloody one. Ulysses is condemned to ten years exile for offending the gods during the siege. The story of his wanderings is well known from Homer's Odyssey and told here as an exciting and enthralling play.
Written by John Wiles.
