Produced by the Druid Theatre, Penelope premiered in Galway in July 2010 before transferring to the Edinburgh Festival in August. In October it was staged in New York and transferred to the Hampstead Theatre in February 2011.

Penelope is a riveting and savage take on the classic Greek myth of Penelope, wife of Odysseus.It's 11.30 a.m. and already it's thirty-three degrees Celsius. At the bottom of a drained swimming pool, four ridiculous men face their inevitable deaths, and play for an unwinnable love.
