What reviewers say about AN ILIAD

Spellbinding…Smartly conceived and impressively executed.

~NY Times

AN ILIAD is pure theater: shocking, glorious, primal and deeply satisfying.

~Time Out, NY

Explosive, altogether breathtaking…Brilliantly meshes past and present calamity, with touches of the most caustic dark humor suddenly shifting into unimaginable pathos. ~Chicago Sun-Times
