About the Show:
Homer’s epic tale of violence, revenge and heroism is retold through a modern lens in Lisa Peterson and Denis O’Hare’s post-modernist play An Iliad. The story of the Trojan War hits close to home as the mysterious and enigmatic “Poet” recounts the days of the war in a gripping one-person monologue - and it is a story that is all too familiar.
Originally produced by True North Theatre in 2017 and directed by Brad Delzer, An Iliad made landfall in the Capital area at shelters, libraries, and various non-traditional spaces that served as the stage for Thomas Weaver, returning in this remounted production as The Poet.
This captivating and intimate theatrical experience will play for three online performances, and will be available to audiences around Harrisburg (and around the world) on a sliding scale. Ancient warfare collides with humor, poetry, and vivid storytelling to emerge as a powerful piece on mankind’s love affair with war.
