Greek warrior-king Odysseus is on the way home after the Trojan war. But his questionable methods have upset Poseidon, the God of the Sea. The God captures Odysseus and challenges him to a series of games - from cooking for a cannibal Cyclops to resisting the song of Siren influencers. The games will determine the hero's worth and whether he deserves to make it home safe. Who is the real hero of the Odyssey, the king or the people?

A new comedy adaptation by a Greek writer, "Odysseus, Not Your Hero" blends theatre and role-playing to ask questions about pride, complicity, and the parasocial relationship we have with our heroes - and the heroes of others! The audience are invited to participate as Odysseus' crew and help determine the fate of the king and of his kingdom.
