An Iliad
April 21, 2021
Alicia Storin and Jim DeVita in An Iliad, American Players Theatre, 2021.
The classic is reborn in this timely American Players Theatre adaptation that first hit the stage there in 2015. This reprise takes into account various sobering national and global events that have taken place since then (you can fill in the blanks) for an even more somber take on current events seen through the prism of Homer s epic. James DeVita is riveting as the main character, The Poet. Read Gwendolyn Rice s review of the production
here. Through Aug. 15.
press release: By Lisa Peterson, Denis O Hare; directed by John Langs. Translated from Homer s The Iliad by Robert Fagles.
