An Iliad

By Lisa Peterson and Denis O’Hare
based on Homer’s The Iliad, translated by Robert Fagles
Directed by Kirsten Brandt
Featuring Patty Gallagher

The timeless power of storytelling brings to life this gripping adaptation of Homer’s classic. A lone poet on an open stage throws us right into the midst of conflict where heroes and countries clash in a quest for power and glory. In this vibrant retelling, the Trojan War and present day are set side by side as ancient history is catapulted into an intense, intimate, and at times funny, story for today.

“The result, in one evening, is everything theater should be: intense, soul-searching, funny, tragic.” – The Chester Telegraph
