Odyssey ‘84 - Sherman Theatre
Costume Supervisor
The personal and the political collide in Tim Price’s powerful, epic re-telling of the 1984 Miners’ Strike, inspired by Homer’s Odyssey.
“So. Man of many turns. Tell us your story. From the beginning.”
Heartfelt, passionate and moving, Odyssey ’84 tells of the adventures our ideals take us on. As the strike and the stand-off with the British Government begin, miner John O’Donnell (Odysseus) finds himself thrust into a fight for survival, taking him far from South Wales. Meanwhile, at home, his wife Penny (Penelope) goes on her own epic personal journey whilst striving to support her community. When they are finally reunited, not only has the world around them changed, but so have they.
