lthough credited to a single author, Homer’s The Odyssey is a weave of tales emerging from centuries of oral tradition dating back to 8th-century BCE Greece. By the time of Periclean Athens (495 - 429 BCE), The Odyssey had achieved a somewhat fixed form. It served as text for rhapsodes (professional performers of epic poetry) and dramatists, who adapted it for their own Atragedies and satyr plays. The first English translation appeared in 1614, and 2021 finds over a dozen readable-to-respectable versions still in print. While creating this adaptation, I consulted the major translations — all of which happen to be written by well-educated white men like me. Their consensus seems to be that this ancient story’s central character — a serial liar, cheat, thief, and killer — serves as a master surrogate for the human condition. He is a hero, overcoming the challenges of life. In the summer of 2019, when Jed Allen Harris asked me to collaborate with him on this project, I wasn’t buying it. I wasn’t buying Odysseus. I said so, in no uncertain terms, to both Jed and Karla Boos, Quantum Theatre’s Artistic Director. I Karla suggested I read a brand-new translation of The Odyssey by Emily Wilson, starting with the premise that the text should be regarded as a problem for modern readers, not an answer. Wilson described her feeling of repeatedly translating Homeric misogyny and brutality toward ‘Others’ as one of “intimate alienation.” While Wilson’s beautifully stark verse is absent from my adaptation, her role as a resisting reader of Homer served as a constant guardrail for my own efforts.

But something more was needed. Even if The Odyssey has a cracked moral foundation, time and again it has inspired alternative visions of itself — some more beautiful and noble than its historically accurate intent. One translator belonging in this category is English satirist and critic Samuel Butler (1835 - 1902). More than his serviceable prose translations of Homer’s epics, Butler is probably most infamous among classicists for The Authoress of the Odyssey (1897). Butler’s claim? That a woman must have been the first rhapsode to sing of Odysseus, and that she cryptically reveals her presence in the peripheral character Princess Nausicaa. What would a ‘modern’ Nausicaa make of Odysseus’ journey? Or Penelope or Circe, for that matter? With leave to freely adapt the story, these questions became central to this production. – Jay Ball teacher of mine used to say that there’s a difference between a notion and an idea and that the theatre was filled with too many notions and not enough ideas. Many years ago, I had the notion that it would be “cool” to stage an adaptation of Homer’s The Odyssey in a park where the audience could Amove from “island to island” along with Odysseus. Years later, I brought up my notion to Karla Boos, and when she expressed great interest in the project, it became my task to turn the notion into an idea. I immediately turned to Jay Ball, my longtime collaborator, who worked on Quantum’s production of The Task as dramaturg and Pantagleize as adapter/playwright to help. I also started asking random friends and acquaintances what they remembered of the story. Almost everyone mentioned “the Cyclops” first, with “Circe” the sorceress and “the Sirens” coming after. Some would also mention his wife Penelope weaving during the day and unraveling her work at night to stave off the suitors that demanded she pick one of them to become her new husband. While there are many other events in the narrative, it is these parts of the story, with their necessary attendant backstories, that we have chosen to explore from a more A modern perspective with the hope of finding some ideas worth pondering. While practicality necessitated letting go of having the audience move to a different place with each scene, we ask that you join Odysseus for the final leg of his journey home. – Jed Allen Harris

love these guys. I’ve known Jed longer than Jay, but I consider them both artists from formative years and ones with whom I’ve gone into major artistic trenches. It’s funny that our current project is about perspective applied to the Iart of storytelling, holding the teller accountable, considering the time, the audience, the shared narrative of those hearing the story … and questioning all of it as we must, we who pass the story on. This is funny when I read their program notes, because … I never sent Jay to Emily Wilson’s translation, but thanks Jay for attributing that to me, she is brilliant! I didn’t jump on the bandwagon of The Odyssey from Jed’s notion … I would do any project you suggest, my friend, as a collaboration with Jay. (The Task remains among my favorite projects of all time, and I dearly loved Pantagleize.) So I’m correcting the narrative here. Having artists in long relationships with each other is a fertile thing to be cherished. In this project they extend in every direction – into the designers, actors, and crew. Our love for each other and our collective art has brought us to this pass, engaging with the great, original storyteller. We welcome the young and the newcomers (happily there too) to our midst. We see you as our tribe. Oh, be not alarmed by my choice of that word, friends, the tribe is very big, ever-expanding, hospitable to guests, and of some humility. It encompasses you too, out there in the seats, under the skies, of our community (from the Latin, that word! Jay, did they get it from the Greeks??)

Quantum Theatre acknowledges that our productions take place in Dionde:gâ, the Seneca language name for the Pittsburgh region. We work and create art on the unceded, ancestral lands of many Indigenous peoples including the Seneca Nation members of the Haudenosaunee (hoe-dee-no-SHOW- nee) Confederacy, the Lenape (or Delaware), the Shawnee, and the earlier Adena, Hopewell, Monongahela and others. We are mindful that our work here is possible because the land and lives of people native to this place were stolen. Through this acknowledgment, we invite you to join us in paying respect to the elders both past and present. We encourage you to visit the Council of Three Rivers American Indian Center to learn more and support their work: http://www.cotraic.org/ Special thanks to City Theatre Associate Artistic Director Clare Drobot for providing her research for this land acknowledgment.
