SUMMARY:The Penelopiad
DESCRIPTION:Written by: Margaret Atwood \nDirected by: Kristen Telfer \nSynopsis:   “The Penelopiad” by Margaret Atwood is an adaptation of Homer’s “Iliad” and “Odyssey”\, told from the perspective of Odysseus’ wife Penelope.\nLong after the events of the story are over\, Penelope tells the audience her story from the afterlife\, from her miraculous birth and childhood as the daughter of a king and a water nymph to her marriage to the renowned and wily Odysseus. The complacent idyll of Penelope’s life as a married noblewoman is shattered when news arrives that her sister Helen has absconded from her own marriage and run off with a young prince from an enemy state. Odysseus leaves his wife and young son to do his duty\, and Penelope’s ordeal begins. \nAfter Troy is sacked\, Odysseus fails to return home. As the years pass\, Penelope finds herself surrounded by a crowd of would-be suitors\, eager to lay claim to the widow and her considerable wealth\, whose encroachments on her hospitality becomepushier by the day. Greatly restricted in her means to deal with this threat\, Penelope relies on the support of her loyal maids in her bid to ward off the unwanted attentions until her husband returns. But these same Maids are also with Penelope in the afterlife\, to observe and participate in her narration of the events of her life… and remind her of the role she played in the tragic\nending to theirs. \nCharacter Descriptions: \nRoles: Penelope\, Telemachus\, Odysseus\, and twelve Maids \nGender: Undefined       Stage Age: 18+ \n\n\n\nGenders given are of the characters. Non-binary identifying people are invited to audition for all roles. \nPENELOPE (F\, 40+)\nThe daughter of a king and a water nymph\, wife of Odysseus. Knows how to present as the model noblewoman and wife. Intelligent\, articulate and observant. An eternity in the afterlife has given her the benefit of hindsight. The actor will play Penelope from her teens through to the end of her long life. \nODYSSEUS (M\, 30s-40s)\nA Greek warrior and petty king. Ambitious and savvy\, renowned for his cunning and charisma. The actor will play Odysseus from his early 30s through to the end of his life. \nTELEMACHUS (M\, 18-early 20s)\nThe beloved only child of Penelope and Odysseus. The actor will play Telemachus as a precocious five-year-old in one scene\, and as a moody youth frustrated at being left at home while his father goes to war for the rest of the play. \nTHE MAIDS\nThe backbone of the play\, Penelope’s twelve Maids act as a Greek Chorus as they observe Penelope telling her side of the story from the afterlife and remind her of the role she played in their fate. Every actor cast will play a Maid as well as other characters (see below)\, and will have both individual and collectively spoken dialogue. There will also be some chanting and unaccompanied singing to simple melodies. \nMELANTHO (F)\nOne of Penelope’s younger maids. Naive\, excitable\, loyal.

You may be asked to read from any or all of them\, or possibly other scenes. You do NOT need to learn these scenes by heart. \nAbility to work well as an ensemble is integral to the roles of the Maids. These auditions will therefore be held in groups. As well as reading scenes from the play\, there will be some improvisation exercises. We want to see not just your abilities as individual performers\, but ability to collaborate\, support and play with others in a scene. \nAuditions for the Maids will be in 45-minute blocks and individual auditions (15 minutes) can be booked close to these group sessions.\n\n\n\n
