Odyssey: A Heroic Pantomime

Boutique panto maestros Charles Court Opera are famous for the totally out-there subjects of their annual performances, which have run the gamut from ‘King Tut’ to ‘Beowulf’. And this year is definitely another pretty wild one as writer-director John Savournin and composer David Eaton tackle Homer’s adventure-laden epic about Odysseus’s extremely peril-strewn ten-year effort to sail the roughly 145 miles home from Troy to Ithaca.
