The Ghost of Achilles

The Iliad or The Ghost of Achilles Odysseus has returned home — the suitors are dead, Penelope and Telemachus restored to him, and peace should follow. Yet the war still lives inside him. As he journeys to his father’s house, Odysseus tries his old disguises, but before Laertes’ grief, every trick falters. For the first time in twenty years, he is simply a son — no hero, no king — seeking counsel and forgiveness. But ghosts walk beside him. Achilles’ shadow looms large: the rival who chose death and glory where Odysseus chose survival. Now, facing his father, he wonders if he has truly come home. Between rage and remorse, pride and tenderness, the old warrior must ask the question no victory can answer: How does one return in mind, not just in body? Drawing on The Odyssey, The Iliad, The Aeneid, and Jason and the Golden Fleece, this powerful retelling brings together the stories of fathers and sons, grief and legacy, and the cost of heroism. At its heart lies a single, timeless struggle — to lay down the sword and find peace after war. A haunting, human story of homecoming and healing — Odysseus as you’ve never seen him before. £18.00 Advance £14.00 Under 18 Book 6+ tickets, get 10% off!* £19.00 Standard £16.00 Supporter Get Tickets!
