English Touring Theatre and Liverpool Everyman & Playhouse present The Odyssey: Missing, Presumed Dead. Award-winning poet and author Simon Armitage joins forces again with director Nick Bagnall after their successful collaboration on The Last Days of Troy.
A high ranking government minister with a colourful past is sent on a delicate diplomatic mission to Istanbul. But when his trip ends up in a horrific bar room brawl, he becomes Europe’s most wanted man overnight. Chased by the authorities, damned by religious leaders, pursued by those looking for vengeance and head-hunted by fanatics, his Odyssey begins. The Cyclops, the Sirens, witches, whirlpools and flesh-eating armies must all be overcome in the struggle for survival and the long voyage back home.
