A stranger washed up on the shores of a great city claims to be the general Odysseus, sacker of Troy. Bedraggled and desperate, he pleads for help to get back to his native land of Ithaca and his waiting wife Penelope. To do so he must tell his remarkable tale of ten years wandering amongst giants, nymphs, sirens and lotus eaters. The story of a man who won a war abroad and lost everything in his search for home.Crime and Punishment in Dalston

'This is a Crime and Punishment with attitude, street-cred and wisdom.' IndependentThe Nativity

'A beautiful and moving account of the birth of Christ . . . the audience was held in rapt silence except in those moments that demanded a raucous response. David Farr has clearly got it right.' Daily TelegraphGreat Expectations

'Highly dramatic . . . this bold and imaginative approach breathes invigorating fresh life into the popular tale.' BBC Bristol
