A timeless and gripping retelling of Homer’s epic poem, An Iliad returns to Court’s stage, illuminating the human cost of conflict with breathtaking urgency. Timothy Edward Kane reprises his role as The Poet – the sole character in this one-person saga – who recounts a tale of war, hubris, and destruction that spirals across millennia and crashes into our present day. Jason Huysman – who has understudied this role for the past three iterations – will return as the understudy for The Poet and will be featured in select evening performances. Experience the raw power of An Iliad in Court Theatre’s intimate Abelson Auditorium, and confront the necessity of the classics head-on.
