“I could wait forever if you told me what forever was for.”
“If we’re gonna start to talk about The Trojan War, I’ll need a drink”.
Meet Penelope—funny, fierce, faithful, and fed up with waiting for her husband to return. This intimate cabaret-style musical with a powerful pop-score invites you into Penelope’s confidence as she unravels the story of her life from maid to marriage, from motherhood to middle age, from the then until now. So, grab a drink, take a seat, and let Penelope take you on a journey in this one-woman tour de force.
Run Time: Approx. 80 minutes with NO intermission
