"The Janeiad" runs June 21 – July 13, 2025 Sheryl and Harvey White Theatre Conrad Prebys Theatre Center World premiere By Anna Ziegler Directed by Maggie Burrows In "The Odyssey," Penelope’s long wait is rewarded when her husband Odysseus returns home 20 years after leaving to fight in the Trojan War. Will the same be true for Jane in modern-day Brooklyn, 20 years after her husband left for work one fateful September morning? Maggie Burrows directs this poetic and touching play about longing, hope, and the myths we tell ourselves just to get through the day. "The Janeiad," a wry contemplation of the evocative power of storytelling, marks the Globe’s third collaboration with Anna Ziegler, following "The Wanderers" and "The Last Match." Open-Caption Performance: Saturday, July 12 at 2 p.m. Total running time: One hour and 35 minutes (one act with no intermission). This production contains references to the events of 9/11, mild violence, and some strong language.
