I enjoyed reading this very much, though I believe this play must be read by someone who is already fairly familiar with the original story itself, but I'm just stating the obvious. I enjoyed the bits of unexpected humor here and there, and I really enjoyed the ending, where (slight spoiler alert, avert eyes now!) Odysseus confuses the suitors with soldiers from Troy. That last bit seemed to add much more of a human quality to the story impossible to find in the original, where Odysseus was written to be a god-like figure. Happily, he's all mortal here.
