47. The Odyssey w/ Dan Bain

In this episode I'm joined by writer, director and comedian Dan Bain to chat about his upcoming theatre project, an adaptation of The Odyssey that'll be playing right here in Christchurch over the summer.We get into how the project came about, what had to be cut for time, how he landed on The Odyssey rather than The Iliad, what we can expect to see from the play, and we cap it off by asking some rapid fire Greek Mythology questions.It's a delightful interview and I'm stoked to get Dan back on the show, I hope you enjoy it!The Odyssey Show Details:📅 11-28 Jan (Thurs, Fri, Sat and Sun) ⏰ Weekdays, 6.30pm & Weekends, 2.30pm (except 27 Jan) & 6.30pm 📍 Weather Station Lawn, Christchurch Botanic Gardens💲 Free!
