Sometimes what happens after the epic ends is just as… well, epic. Odysseus has returned from war. Penelope has been waiting. The homecoming neither of them imagined is about to unfold. Nostos: After The Odyssey is a bold, funny, and emotionally charged reimagining of Homer’s epic, exploring what happens after the hero returns when the woman who held everything together starts to come undone. Written by Georgia Bruce and directed by Scott Le Crass, Nostos blends surreal humour, poetic storytelling, and raw honesty to unpick the myths we tell ourselves about marriage, heroism, and home. Brought to life by the graduating actors of The Oxford School of Drama’s One Year Course, expect gods, ghosts, sirens, therapy, and most importantly, trifle.
