This 90-minute, one-man show focuses on the core of Homer's epic poem on the Trojan War which has been shaped in a way that is both modern and timeless. An acclaimed re-imagination by Lisa Peterson and Denis O’Hare of Homer’s great poem; this adaptation has been described by TimeOut (New York) as “pure theater: shocking, glorious, primal and deeply satisfying,”

The play presents the saga in the voice of a lone poet, who moves between past and present to comment on the never-ending horror of war. While most productions cast the Poet as a grizzled war veteran, this new production, by Philadelphia-based #theaternow, and featuring Daniel J. Tobin, presents a much younger figure.

A forceful retelling of a classic, this will be a performance you won't want to miss.
