Adapted from Homer’s epic poem, An Iliad explores the contradiction of glory and violence, and the human race’s seemingly endless fascination with war.
John Tufts plays the Poet who takes us on a thrilling and wrenching tour of the Trojan War, as he inhabits over a dozen characters.
Michal Palzewicz, the Muse, provides musical accompaniment, giving the Poet the fuel he needs to tell the story.

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
