by Rebecca Russo

For its 36th season Undermain presents works from three award-winning mavericks of the American theatre in three premieres and a festival of new work.

Undermain's 36th year, the season of the maverick. Four new opportunities to experience Undermain onstage.
AN ILIAD By Lisa Peterson And Denis O'Hare Comes to Undermain
by A.A. Cristi
- Dec 12, 2018
In the spirit of celebrating 35 years of cutting-edge performances, Undermain establishes its Repertoire Series to honor the gems of its production history, with a reboot of An Iliad, a landmark production from 2012 starring Bruce DuBose and Paul Semrad, directed by Undermain Artistic Director Katherine Owens. An Iliad is a modern-day retelling of Homer's classic. Poetry and humor, the ancient tale of the Trojan War and the modern world collide in this captivating theatrical experience. The setting is simple: the empty theater. The time is now: the present moment. The lone figure onstage is a storyteller-possibly Homer, possibly one of the many bards who followed in his footsteps. He is fated to tell this story throughout history. Tickets on sale now! www.undermain.org
