An Iliad at Estates Theatre

WINNER BEST ACTOR - GUY ROBERTS 2018 HOUSTON THEATRE AWARDS. Featuring virtuoso performances and live music from an exciting original composition by Patrick Neil Doyle, AN ILIAD is a tour-de-force evening based on Homers epic poem of love, battle, gods and honor exploring humanity's unshakable attraction to violence, destruction and chaos. Has anything really changed since the Trojan War? The war in Troy is over and the Poet saw it all. Back from the frontlines in an empty theatre, The Poet, who is perhaps Homer himself, spins a tale of unquenchable rage, quarrelsome gods, and grieving widows. An Iliad weaves humanity's unshakable attraction to warfare with the music of the muses, capturing the contradictory conditions of glory and violence with spellbinding modernity. Guy Roberts was honored with the BEST ACTOR Award at and this production was nominated for Best Production, Best Costumes, Best Sets, Best Lights at the 2018 Houston Theatre Awards. Starring Guy Roberts as the Poet and Jessica Boone and Fanette Ronjat as the Muses, directed by Guy Roberts and Rebecca Greene Udden.
