Anon(ymous)
By Naomi Iizuka
Directed By Peter Anthony

Separated from his mother, a young refugee called Anon flees his war torn country and embarks on a journey to a new life. Swept ashore in the United States, he encounters 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 rely on his instinct, resilience and humor as he navigates through a chaotic, ever-changing landscape. Based on Homer's Odyssey and as abundant, funny, anguished and hopeful as America itself, Anon(ymous) offers a rich and witty exploration of how we all search for home and identity.

Naomi Iizuka, a contemporary Japanese American playwright, is heralded as one of the freshest voices in modern theater. A prolific writer, Iizuka has written a host of plays in her young career that have won her extensive acclaim and recognition.

"... [a] stunning retelling of epic quest." - St. Paul Pioneer Press

"... a memorable journey with throttling energy ... excitement and power." -Minneapolis Star Tribune
