Description: 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.
Notes: A play for 1 man (flexible casting).
