Penelope
(a one act play with music)
Based on a true story, PENELOPE follows the journey of Penelope and Cecil, two platypuses that came to The Bronx Zoo in 1947 with the express purpose of procreation. Penelope, however, spurned all of Cecil’s advances, faked a pregnancy to get double rations, and mysteriously escaped never to be seen again.
With original music by Caroline Kidwell and Max Cohen– and inspiration from Marie Antoinette, Britney Spears, Paris Hilton, and others– PENELOPE lets us examine the rage, rise, and fall of a woman in the public eye (through the lens of a bizarre, semi-aquatic, two pound creature).
