| Description |
The time is now: the present moment. The power of Homer’s age-old story is unleashed on to a modern audience in a contemporary, in-your-face retelling created by acclaimed director Lisa Peterson and actor Denis O’Hare (Tony Award winner, HBO’s True Blood and The Good Wife). Smartly conceived and powerfully performed, the familiar tale of gods and goddesses, undying love and endless battle become a breathtaking tour-de-force. A sweeping account of humanity’s unshakeable attraction to violence, destruction and chaos that begs the question: has anything really changed since the Trojan War? |
