Heartfelt, passionate and moving, Odyssey ’84 tells of the adventures our ideals take us on. As the strike and the stand-off with the British Government begin, miner John O’Donnell (Odysseus) finds himself thrust into a fight for survival, taking him far from South Wales. Meanwhile, at home, his wife Penny (Penelope) goes on her own epic personal journey whilst striving to support her community. When they are finally reunited, not only has the world around them changed, but so have they.

Sherman Theatre Artistic Director Joe Murphy (Housemates, Tales of the Brothers Grimm) directs an exceptional cast including Rhodri Meilir as O’Donnell and Sara Gregory as Penny. With a sensational set and a soundtrack of 80s tunes, Odyssey ’84 promises a spectacular theatre experience to mark the 40th anniversary of one of the most tumultuous chapters in our recent history. Odyssey ’84 is a soaring hymn to the power of community and the true meaning of solidarity.
