The Janeiad

The story of Penelope, awaiting her husband Odysseus' long return from the Trojan War, is the subject of one of our oldest surviving literary works. Now meet Jane, in modern-day Brooklyn, longing for her husband, 20 years after he went to work one fateful September 11th morning and never returned. Homer's epic gives inspiration to Anna Ziegler's lyrical drama, intensely connecting two women across time and place, contemplating the power of storytelling and the great myths we tell ourselves, as we travel through our days.
