The Oddity

By Rose Van Leyenhorst.

The Oddity tells the story of Tilly, a young girl unable to cope with reality. Her father left her and her mother when she was a baby.

Tilly becomes convinced that her father is in fact Odysseus trying to make his way home after the Trojan War.

Follow her story in the play at two moments in time: when she is a young girl slowly losing her grip on reality, and 15 years later, when she has internalised the fantasy to live a ‘normal’ life in society.
