Portsmouth's Pontine Theatre Announces 47th Season
From September 20-22, Portsmouth NH’s Pontine Theatre kicks off its 47th Season with performances of Odysseus by guest artist, William George, founding director of Pennsylvania’s Kingfisher Theatre. His latest creation is a fresh and intimate interpretation of the eternal Greek legend, The Odyssey. This timeless tale follows the mythical ten-year journey of one man, Odysseus, struggling to make his way home after the Trojan War. In a stage performance that is at once epic and “breath taking”—with live musical soundscapes performed by percussionist Rob Aptaker—this new solo work from William George, with directorial assistance from Gerard Stropnicky (co-founder of Bloomsburg Theatre Ensemble) is a sensory experience and a once-in-a-decade theatre event not to be missed. The script, written by George, is drawn primarily from Alexander Pope’s 18th-century adaptation but is also influenced by several other translations of Homer’s epic work. The story may be ancient, but the themes ring true today—revealing deep insights not just about the psychic relationship between us all and the Divine, but also about fathers and sons, husbands and wives, and the profoundly human weaving of life and suffering in our lives. Performances are Friday 7pm, Saturday @3pm & Sunday @2pm. Purchase tickets at Pontine’s website: www.pontine.org.
