This play explores the classic story of The Odyssey in a new way, both following the story you know through Odysseus' journals, and following the stories of the people left behind during the Trojan War - including Penelope, Telemachus, Odysseus' sister Ctimene, and more.

The place? Vienna, Austria. The year? 1811. A successful classical composer, Ludwig, inspired by his lover (an opera singer named Eliseo), writes a piano piece one sunny summer afternoon while suffering from creative block.

Viktoria, a middle-aged opera singer living in 1800s Amsterdam, is writing a letter to her old friend, Eliseo, from her days in the Viennese opera. Twenty-four years prior, Eliseo’s composer boyfriend, Ludwig, died, leaving behind a piano piece that he’d dedicated to Eliseo. Eliseo gave the only copy of the piece to Viktoria, whose brother was a publisher, to try to publish, but said brother lost the piece. Now, Viktoria is writing to Eliseo, who she has lost touch with over the years, to tell him that the piece has recently been found and successfully published… but with an interesting error. Excerpted from the short play "Fur Eliseo" but can also be performed on its own as a one-woman short piece.
