The Letter From Aeolia Lyrics by Original Off Broadway Cast of Penelope

Penelope

2022

[PENELOPE, spoken]
My darling Pen', we were so close to Ithaca last month, I could almost smell the sun drenched olives
It seemed, at long last, after 20 years, my yearning arms would twine again with yours
Alas, once more, misfortune intervened
[BARIUS, spoken]
I knew it! Another delay!
[BASSANIO, spoken]
Shhhh!
[PENELOPE]
We stopped for water on an isle in the Aegean
Where unknown to us, lived a cyclopean
A one-eyed Titan named Polyphemus
And suddenly, our crew was in еxtremis
[TELEMACHUS AND EURYCLEIA]
We werе in extremis
The crew was in extremis
And we needed something quick and clever to redeem us
[PENELOPE]
He trapped us in his cave, and started snacking
He grabbed two men, we could hear their bones cracking
It seemed we'd all be the cyclops' diet
We had one chance, and I knew I had to try it
[TELEMACHUS AND EURYCLEIA]
He knew he had to try it
Or we'd become his diet
[SUITOR]
The only question was, would the monster buy it?
[ALL]
Ahh, ahh, ahh, ahh, ahh
[PENELOPE]
I showed my wineskin, and I said, "Poor guy
I bet those salty men made your throat feel dry"
I filled his bowl with wine and kept on pouring
'Til he passed out, and we heard him snoring
[TELEMACHUS AND EURYCLEIA]
He kept right on pouring
'Til he heard the snoring
[PENELOPE]
Then I stabbed his eye
[FIVE]
And the brute started roaring!
[ALL]
Ahh, ahh, ahh, ahh, ahh, ahh, ahh, ahh, ahh, ahh, ahh, ahh
[PENELOPE]
A flock of sheep that he was raising
He let out of the cave each day for grazing
Next morning, we and the sheep got chummy
The giant felt each back as they left, but not the tummy
We ran to the ship, and I grabbed the tiller
We started to row, then I saw our killer
As the gap from the shore began to widen
The blind wretch called for vengeance from Poseidon!
[ALL]
His father was Poseidon!
The ocean god, Poseidon!
[Penelope]
He raised up a storm that we all nearly died in!
[ALL]
Ahh, ahh, ahh, ahh, ahh, ahh, ahh, ahh, ahh, ahh, ahh, ahh
[PENELOPE]
We shipwrecked on the island of Aeolus
The god of all the breezes that control us
I'm hoping after we do some repairing
He'll spare a bag of wind for our seafaring
[TELEMACHUS AND EURYCLEIA]
After some repairing
If he feels like sharing
He'll spare a bag of wind for our seafaring
[PENELOPE]
If we catch the wind, you'll catch wind of us
See you soon
Your Odysseus
[ALL]
Ahh, ahh, ahh, ahh
