A Noise Within (ANW) theater in Pasadena presents Lisa Peterson and Denis O’Hare’s modern-day retelling of Homer’s epic poem “An Iliad,” directed by Julia Rodriguez-Elliott, in a video stream starting at 7 p.m. Friday, May 14.
From the comfort and safety of their homes, audiences can enjoy the same artistry and production elements from ANW’s live performances including lighting, sound and costumes.
ANW powerhouses Deborah Strang and Geoff Elliott alternate performances as the Poet in “An Iliad,” reliving and recounting bloodshed over thousands of years.
The lone witness of an ancient and ravaged Trojan battlefield, the Poet weaves a tale of tragedy and triumph, with an enduring love for every victim of war. The Poet, an eternal being tasked with a passionate examination of deadly conflict, grapples with grief and the dualities of victory and loss, power and fragility, heroism and hubris in an unforgettable modern take on Homer’s classic.
From the lights, the sound and costumes, all of the gorgeous artistry that ANW’s productions are known for will be fully fleshed out in a multi-camera, high-quality film of the stage production.
Tickets to stream “An Iliad” are $25 for individuals and $40 for a family. Opening night tickets with a Zoom after-party with the artists are $50 for individuals and $75 for families.
