A wandering poet walks into a bar…to share a wondrous story of war. In this retelling of Homer’s epic Iliad, a charismatic storyteller unspools a wrenching, timeless tale of the Trojan War, of bravery, bloodshed, and the heat of battle in a captivating theatrical experience brought to life by a single actor.
First sung around a campfire 2,800 years ago, The Iliad is still a profound exploration of humanity's ongoing draw to violence and chaos. This contemporary take dives into the myths, relationships, and humanity of the original in a raw and up-close look at rage, sorrow, and the mixed feelings of heroism and horror that come with a never-ending war.
The place: where community gathers
