An Iliad

by Lisa Peterson and Denis O’Hare
based on Homer’s The Iliad, translated by Robert Fagles 

A regional premiere production, presented in Season 11

February 2 – 26, 2017  

In this spellbinding one-person retelling of Homer’s epic poem, the ancient tale of the Trojan War collides with our contemporary compulsion toward violence. Our storyteller, The Poet, who is fated to tell this tale throughout history, weaves a breathtaking story full of poetry and humor, heroism and horror.
