The Odyssey at Georgia Shakespeare
I’m in Atlanta this evening, and I saw Georgia Shakespeare’s production of The Odyssey, Directed by and adapted from Homer by Richard Garner, and very attuned to contemporary soldiers’ experiences returning home from wars like Iraq and Afghanistan. A number of veterans and their families were in the audience.
The production was very striking, moving, beautiful, very theatrical, and at times very funny, a really terrific evening. I met a few of the company members afterward all of whom seemed humbly proud of their accomplishment, and very aware of the impact it is having on their audience.
If you’re in the Atlanta area, you’ve got a couple more days…
