The Odyssey: Episode 2 - The Cyclops

Presented by Cast, written by Tajinder Singh Hayer

Following a close escape from the land of the Lotus-Eaters, Odysseus and her crew encounter a new foe, this time in the form of the one-eyed Cyclops, Polyphemus.

Tensions are brewing between Odysseus and her crewmates, but when they find themselves trapped in the mysterious mansion of the Cyclops, they all must join forces to stay alive.

To mark the fifth anniversary of Public Acts, The Odyssey is reimagined for today in this epic retelling with hundreds of community members across the country.
