| Description |
Has anything really changed since the Trojan War? “Smartly conceived and impressively executed” (The New York Times), this powerful one-man show uses Homer’s 2,800-year-old epic poem to explore humanity’s attraction to violence, destruction and chaos. Tony Award-winner and True Blood (HBO) star Denis O’Hare is The Poet, a man whose experience of an ancient war echoes modern-day headlines. Directed by Lisa Peterson, An Iliad “enthralls and pierces your heart” (The Seattle Times). The oldest story in the book never felt so current. |
