Description:
Although there were some criticisms of Simon Armitage's adaptation of Homer's Odyssey when it was aired several years ago, I enjoyed it as excellent radio drama.
Janet Whitaker always directs interesting work, and the cast, particularly Tim McInnerny and Amanda Redman, is superb.
Simon Armitage's adaptation is far from stuffy, and to my ear, very well suited to the radio drama format. As his publisher's blurb has it, "The Odyssey is a book of changes, and Simon Armitage's retelling of Homer's epic quickens and revitalizes our sense of it as oral poetry: as indeed one of the greatest of tall tales. His version bristles with the economy, wit and guile that we have come to expect from one of the most individual voices of his generation." I don't consider this an exaggeration.
