Royal Conservatoire of Scotland: The Penelopiad

The Royal Conservatoire of Scotland
100 Renfrew St, Glasgow, G2 3DB
£5 – £17

The Penelopiad hurls Homer’s The Odyssey into the spotlight from Penelope’s point of view. Speaking from beyond the grave, she is ready to spill the secrets history has buried. But she’s not alone. Her 12 hanged maids are back and they’re angry.

Blending biting humour, lyrical storytelling, and a punch of rage, Margaret Atwood’s bold reimagining rips into the silence of women in myth. Irreverent and haunting, The Penelopiad is no dusty epic; it’s a chorus-fuelled reckoning. Justice. Revenge. Truth. This is her story. And she’s done waiting.

Runtime – Two hours (this includes a 15 minute interval) | Prices: £5 – £17 | Suitable for ages 14+

Macrobert Youth Theatre: Midnight Library
This surreal new play invites audiences into a hidden world within an ordinary library, and what begins as an innocent search for a book becomes a journey through shadow, wonder, and dread where escape is never certain, and the stories may consume more than you bargain for.
