An Iliad at Theater at Monmouth

An Iliad
By Lisa Peterson & Denis O’Hare
based on Homer’s The Iliad, translated by Robert Fagles
Originally Directed by Bill Van Horn | Directed by Dawn McAndrews

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.
