A modern-day, retelling of Homer's classic.

AN ILIAD is a modern-day, filmed adaption of Homer's classic. Written by Lisa Peterson and Denis O'Hare, their tale combines poetry and humor in their depiction of the ancient tale, as the Trojan War and the modern world collide in this captivating cinematic and theatrical experience. The setting is simple: the empty theater. The time is now: the present moment. The lone figure onstage is a storyteller-possibly Homer, possibly one of the many bards who followed in his footsteps. He is fated to tell this story throughout history.
