An Iliad at Ensemble Theatre CIncinnati

TimeOut NY declared An Iliad "pure theater: shocking, glorious, primal and deeply satisfying." With the lingering shadow of war in Iraq, Afghanistan and Syria, this is a breathtakingly relevant retelling of the timeless class. The ancient thrilling tales of the Trojan War and the modern world collide in this captivating theatrical experience as we explore the psychology of passion and rage. Acclaimed Cincinnati actor Bruce Cromer will play the Greek classic's famous characters from Achilles and Hector to Agammemnon—as well as the beautiful Helen of Troy—as he shares the stage with only a virtuoso musician. This lean, muscular, tour-de-force performance is filled with wit and wisdom that conjures the rage of the gods as it delves deep into mankind's unshakeable attraction to violence, destruction, and chaos.
