Penelope

Penelope's mother died when she was a very young child and she was subsequently adopted by her mum's best friend, Aunt Jo. On the surface her life seems as normal as anyone's and yet underneath she is deeply confused. Why does she suffer such painful headaches, why does she remember things that can't possibly have happened to her, and why can she speak phrases of Latin when she has never been taught the subject?!. Sometimes she really believes she is going mad. And then when even her best friend, Piloo, starts talking about reincarnation it's almost more than she can bear. Penelope only wants to be herself, but in order to achieve that she has to look to her past and discover just who she really is. . . . .

Penelope

Tom Stoppard's take on the story of Penelope, in her own voice, published in pamphlet form with an introduction by the author.Let others sing of war and a hero buffeted by fate. I sing of marriage and a marriage bed, and the endurance of love.In this radiant prose-poem, Odysseus's wife tells of the long years awaiting her husband's return, and of his dramatic arrival back on the island of Ithaca.Weaving together the lush imagery of Homeric epic with a wryly modern wit and sensibility, Penelope's voice emerges in a wise and resonant retelling of an ancient, still vital love story.
