THE STORY: 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.
"Intimate, unstuffy, timely, accessible—while preserving a sense of timelessness, and grandeur, [AN ILIAD] enthralls and pierces your heart with images of fallen warriors, bereft wives and parents, and the bitter landscape of a long, fruitless, uselessly barbaric war."
~Seattle Times.

"A madcap condensation that features nonstop laughs. Done at a whirlwind pace...and sure to win over even the most skeptical. And there is no doubt that William Shakespeare himself...would approve." ~ Daily Variety
