A riveting and savage take on the classic Greek myth of Penelope, wife of Odysseus.

It's 11.30 a.m. and already it's thirty-three degrees Celsius. At the bottom of a drained swimming pool, four ridiculous men face their inevitable deaths, and play for an unwinnable love.

Fringe First Award, Edinburgh 2010

'extraordinary theatre... terrifying' - Sunday Independent, Ireland

'among the finest plays Walsh has written' - Sunday Times, Ireland

'a wild, crazy, word-drunk piece that is destined to lodge in the memory... Walsh possesses a truly original theatrical voice' - Guardian
