AWARD-winning writer and performer Caroline Horton, who has previously delighted Arts Alive audiences with You’re Not Like the Other Girls, Chrissy and Mess, returns with Penelope RETOLD, a sideways look at military life - and its effect on those who are left behind.

Welcome to Ithaca. Island paradise and home to Penelope. She’s married to a world famous war hero and she’s had enough of waiting quietly. Made with input from soldiers and military spouses, Penelope RETOLD is an irreverent collision of classic myth and contemporary rage. Be prepared for a theatrical storm that sweeps through poetry, songs, comedy and YouTube clips towards a poignant and furious conclusion.

Caroline Horton is an Olivier Award nominee and has won Stage Best Solo Performer. In Penelope RETOLD, which was commissioned by Derby Theatre Ltd and gained a four-star review from The Guardian, she presents an epic, heart-breaking and fiercely playful tale for our times.

Penelope RETOLD is at Ledbury's Market Theatre on Saturday, March 28 at 8pm. To book, call 07967 517125 or visit themarkettheatre.com
