AN ILIAD
AN ILIAD by Lisa Peterson and Denis O’Hare, Based on Homer's 'The Iliad', translated by Robert Fagles, Directed by Jeffrey Mousseau, , Featuring MaConnia Chesser | Shakespeare & Company | Lenox, MA
JUNE 3 – JULY 3 Tina Packer Playhouse
Set during the final year of the Trojan War, An Iliad chronicles the events that took place through a mesmerizing and compelling tale told by a modern narrator, who is just as familiar with current events as Homer’s ancient story. With turns often comedic and tragic, the narrator peels back the ancient layers of the war by putting it into a present-day context.
“Through the excellent telling by MaConnia Chesser, the language of the play — simple yet complex and poetic — shows us both the pain of reality and the beauty of tradition. Nobody could do it better. Ever.” – The Berkshire Eagle
