A beautiful woman, an empty swimming pool, four middle-aged men in Speedos, and a returning warrior.  The hourglass is almost empty, and waiting to die has never been this entertaining.

Describing this word-drunk play, the New York Times said it "dares to suggest what it would be like had Samuel Beckett, instead of James Joyce, decided to reinvent Homer's Odyssey."

Irish playwright sensation Enda Walsh's Penelope is a must-see, featuring four company members - Tim True, Michael O'Connell, Chris Murray, and Bruce Burkhartsmeier - as Penelope's suitors, joined by guest artist Britt Harris as the eponymous object of their thwarted desire.  3R's Philip Cuomo directs.  Performances begin June 1 at the Winningstad Theatre at PCPA!

Everybody in the pool!

'Walsh confirms himself as one of the most dazzling wordsmiths of contemporary theatre." -- The Guardian

"Best of all is Enda Walsh's grandiose Penelope, which mixes classical myth with a bit of Beckett, as interpreted by Father Ted after watching an episode of Lost." -- The Sunday Times
