Description Homer's epic masterpiece, The Iliad, is condensed into an intimate, incisive, urgent evening of theatre. A sole performer is joined on stage by a musician to tell the tale of the great Trojan War and Achilles' victory over brave Hector. This sweeping and powerful story collides with our world and delivers startlingly modern results.
