Arts Over Borders will present a series of unique open air presentations of Homer’s The Odyssey on nine beaches that stretch along the Atlantic coast between Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland, from 9-19 August 2018.
Five female actors including Frances Barber, Natascha McElhone, Maxine Peake and Imogen Stubbs will take part, each reading from different episodes of The Odyssey, the first female actors to be cast in Homer’s epics for over 2000 years. The text is Emily Wilson‘s brand new translation, the first in English by a woman. The events, staged in pavilions on the beaches will include Greek food and live Greek music.
