“SING TO ME, O, MUSE OF THE CLEVER MAN...”
So begins the most enduring epic of Western literature and Meat & Potato’s new theatrical adaptation of Homer’s classic story of a soldier trying to get home after ten long years of war.
But why has this particular story remained on the tongues of storytellers for 3500 years? What has drawn generations to tell the trials of Odysseus, or retell them as Sinbad the Sailor or O, Brother Where Art Thou?
Five actors find out as they bring this amazing tale to life in the Rose Wagner’s Studio Theatre.

Released last Oct, but only heard it on my fav radio station last night. I love the anthem quality. (and had to post the lyrics only as the video is kinda meh and gets in the way of the song itself)
