“Calypso,” a new play based on Homer’s The Odyssey

The story follows the lonely Calypso, trapped on an island with only the god Hermes as an occasional visitor. When Odysseus washes ashore, she experiences companionship for the first time and finds she cannot go back to living alone. Calypso takes a minor character from a classic story and gives her a full-fledged narrative, spinning it into a tale about first love and the myths which we choose to remember.
