“A  young  refugee  called  Anon,  separated  from  his  mother,  journeys  through  the  United States, encountering a wide variety of people —some kind, some dangerous and cruel— as he searches for his family. From a sinister one-­‐eyed butcher to beguiling barflies to a sweatshop, Anon must navigate through a chaotic, ever-­‐changing landscape in this entrancing adaptation of Homer's Odyssey” (Playscripts.com).
