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 complicated story full of poetry and humor, heroism and horror.
“An Iliad is pure theater: shocking, glorious, primal and deeply satisfying.” (Time Out NY)
"An intimate solo show illuminating both the heroism and the horror of warfare." (New York Times)
"Stunning for its nuance, tenderness and concrete detail." (The Guardian)
