Jermyn Street - The Odyssey

[Jan]

Jermyn Street are doing a free live-stream of a complete reading of The Odyssey on 9th October (12-hours, 72 actors). I will dip in during the day, it will be available afterwards on their YouTube channel.

It is a puzzle why this theatre has been so active with new productions and replays during lockdown when others (Almeida, Donmar) don't seem to have done much at all.

Yes I forgot about that, but have they anything else planned for the Autumn/Winter ?  I mean as things stand they could do something live-streamed or with a limited audience (I see the 10pm curfew doesn't apply to theatres).

Ooh and Emily Wilson's translation no less! Sounds very exciting

Excellent, thanks for posting. Jermyn St is being imaginative and having a go. For the life of me I do not understand why other big time theatres are not doing the same.
