Four well oiled, speedo clad, male suitors - the last remaining in the legendary battle for the heart of Queen Penelope - rehearse their entreaties in the hope that one of them will be chosen before her husband, Odysseus, returns from battle to destroy them all. Powerhouse Irish playwright, Enda Walsh, has produced a captivating and hilarious meditation on masculinity and human endeavour. A funny, irreverent tragicomic burlesque!
