ITHAKA – Andrea Stolowitz at the Theatersalon

With Andrea Stolowitz, Drama Panorama for the first time has the pleasure of inviting an American playwright in person and introduce one of her most successful plays.

As usual, we will introduce the playwright in a discussion and a few selected scenes from her play in brand new translation in a staged reading.

IthakaV3

ITHAKA
Lanie has just returned from her latest tour in Afghanistan but this time things are different; home doesn’t feel right and nothing makes sense. After a blow up fight with her husband propels her to skip town, she undertakes an Odyssean journey through the American landscape battling her monsters, trying to find her way home.
