Photo Flash: First Look at Joseph Graves in Syracuse Stage's AN ILIAD
By: BWW News Desk May. 17, 2013
An Iliad, adapted from Homer by Lisa Peterson and Denis O'Hare, with translation by Robert Fagles, is directed by Penny Metropulos at Syracuse Stage, running now through June 9. BroadwayWorld has a first look at Joseph Graves as The Poet onstage below!
This remarkable adaptation of Homer's account of the Trojan War vivifies the tale's epic power while capturing the immediacy of a story told around an open fire. A lone poet weaves contemporary speech with evocative poetry to create an electrifying encounter with this profoundly resonant chronicle of a distant conflict.
