But, while it has bags of inventive vitality in Josette Bushell-Mingo's production, it remains a visualisation of a literary conceit: narrative theatre without the escalating tension of drama.Īs Atwood says, it is a composition for two voices: that of Penelope herself and of the 12 maids cruelly hanged after Odysseus's return. Now Atwood has dramatised her re-invented myth for an all-female show jointly presented by the RSC and Canada's National Arts Centre.
I loved the pithy brilliance of Margaret Atwood's book which viewed The Odyssey from Penelope's perspective.
