Anon by Naomi Iizuka
3.0
I find this retelling of The Odyssey confusing in many ways, and very illuminating in others. Anon’s journey feels too short and too vast to take place on a stage. I’m curious as to why this play premiered at a Children’s Theatre; it’s quite bloody and often confusing.
However, the narrative of refugees and their anonymity is very powerful. I LOVE a good Greek chorus, this the refugee chorus was a spectacular way to deepen the meaning.
Overall, it’s not a bad piece of dramatic literature. I think it needs some polishing but it’s got real potential.
