An Iliad
|
By Lisa Peterson and Denis O'Hare
Co-Produced with Combustible Company Directed by Kym Longhi September 20-28 St. Croix Falls September 12-14 Minneapolis An Iliad is a modern-day retelling of Homer’s classic. Poetry and humor, the ancient tale of the Trojan War and the modern world collide in this captivating theatrical experience. The setting is simple: the empty theater. The time is now: the present moment. The lone figure onstage is a storyteller—possibly Homer, possibly one of the many bards who followed in his footsteps. He is fated to tell this story throughout history. An Iliad run time is 100 minutes with no intermission. |
“This Homeric account of the Trojan War unfolds passionately, urgently, humorously, sorrowfully — to a modern world that has still not learned to lay down its own swords and shields. Intimate, unstuffy, timely, accessible.”
— The Seattle Times
