Yorkshire girl Wendy ( ‘e by gum she’s a champion) leads the TTU team towards the closing scene of Circe. Unusually, Wendy finds something nice to say about Stephen and the team are excited to discover his playful, funny side (“Mark me. I dreamt of a watermelon”). Their heads “simply swirl” as they discuss music, dancing, and the significance of Shakespearean ventriloquy in this episode (“Hamlet, I am thy father’s gimlet”). Wendy, Shinijni and Eric illuminate the power of Stephen’s defiant spirit, his articulation of anti-colonial sentiment, and his inability to “retain the perpendicular.” Join the TTU team as they dance, sing, and fight their way to the end of our time on Circe’s magical isle.
