n nWith its inspired counterpointing of Homeric and Caribbean themes, Derek Walcotts play The Odyssey, commissioned by Britains Royal Shakespeare Company, springs from the same imaginative sources as his epic poem Omeros. n n[The Odyssey features Walcotts] voluptuous metaphor making and severe truth telling.--Time n nEpisodes of the story of Odysseus protracted wanderings from fallen Troy to his island home of Ithaca are pungently interspersed with a commentary by the blind singer Billy Blue. Proteus, the Old Man of the Sea, the giant Cyclops, Circe and her revelers, ghosts, and mermaids are among the cast. With its vast sweep and richly figurative language, The Odyssey confirms that Derek Walcott is as compelling a playwright as he is a poet.n
