In this entrancing play by award-winning playwright Naomi Iizuka, a young refugee named 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 an ever-changing landscape in this adaptation of Homer’s The Odyssey. Anon(ymous) is a story of displacement, the search for belonging, hope and resilience, and the power of friendship.
