Jami Brandli's play, O: A Rhapsody in Divorce, receives world premiere at Outside In Theatre May thru June 2026 in Los Angeles

O: A RHAPSODY IN DIVORCE is a new play about survival, reinvention, and becoming your own home by Jami Brandli and directed by Jessica Hanna.

Reimagining The Odyssey through a modern lens, O: A RHAPSODY IN DIVORCE, follows O, a successful neurobiologist in her 40s whose world is turned upside down when her husband asks for a separation, but refuses to leave their home. Displaced and untethered, O embarks on a couch-hopping journey that blends memory, science, and surreal theatricality. She discovers unconventional and magical ways to reassemble the blown-up pieces of her life as she struggles to navigate her way back toward a “new home.”

O: A RHAPSODY IN DIVORCE opened at Outside In Theatre in Los Angeles on May, 9th and was extended to June 16th, 2026. It was LA Theatre Bites RECOMMENDED! It was also TOP TEN RECOMMENDED by Stage Raw, which stated, “Brandli’s script is consistently ingenious, balancing sharp humor with genuine emotional weight.”
