An Iliad
By Lisa Peterson and Denis O’Hare 

October 3-6, 2025
The Wright Opera House

Directed by Missy Moore
Starring John Kissingford

In this adaptation of Homer's epic, one man wrestles with the costs, ancient and modern, of man's addiction to rage and war.

He embodies the great warrior Achilles - his anger with King Agamemnon, his love and grief for his friend Patroclus, and finally his atonement with King Priam - and all the other characters.

Alone on stage, his fate is to retell this deathless story as long as wars are waged.

“AN ILIAD is pure theater," raved Time Out New York: "shocking, glorious, primal and deeply satisfying.”
