New York Theatre Workshop's An Iliad
February 15 - March 25, 2012
by DENIS O'HARE & LISA PETERSON
based on Homer's "Iliad" translated by ROBERT FAGLES
directed by LISA PETERSON

Visionary creators Lisa Peterson and Denis O'Hare have crafted a sprawling yarn based on Homer's epic poem. AN ILIAD spins the familiar tale of gods and goddesses, undying love and endless battles told through an original and immediate voice. Making its New York premier, Tony Award-winning actors Denis O'Hare (Assassins, Take Me Out) and Stephen Spinella (Angels in America) will alternate as performers in this 100-minute sweeping account of humanity's unshakeable attraction to violence, destruction and chaos. Has anything really changed since the Trojan War?
