An Iliad at Road Less Traveled Theater

The clash of swords and shields; the bonds of friendship, honor, and undying love; the machinations of gods and goddesses, meddling in the bloody affairs of mere mortals. An Iliad is an evocation of all of this, as Homer himself materializes – ancient yet timeless, both weary and tireless – to share his sweeping account of humanity’s unshakeable attraction to violence, chaos, and self-destruction. This muscular production spotlights a tour de force performance by RLTP Ensemble member Matt Witten, as he makes each blow of this legendary conflict seem both vivid and relevant.
