Rogue Theater Company Presents An Iliad
An Iliad is a powerful and poignant play that brings the timeless story of the Trojan War to life in a fresh and compelling way. Adapted from Homer's epic poem, this one-man show explores the contradiction of glory and violence, and the human race's seemingly endless fascination with war. Written by Denis O'Hare and Lisa Peterson, An Iliad features an actor who portrays both the ancient Greek poet Homer and a modern-day storyteller as they recount the tale of the Trojan War. Using a blend of poetry, music, and storytelling, An Iliad brings the epic tale of Achilles, Hector, and the fall of Troy to life in a way that is both deeply moving and intellectually engaging. With its universal themes of love, loss, and the human cost of war, An Iliad is a must-see performance for anyone interested in theater, literature, or history.

About Rogue Theater Company
Launched in 2019, Rogue Theater Company (RTC) presents theater that evokes, entertains, and enlivens the human spirit. In a collaborative environment — from Oregon Shakespeare Festival’s artists past and present, to the vast pool of extraordinary talent throughout the valley — our vision is to provoke dialogue, encourage empathy, and inspire curiosity.
Theater plays a crucial role in creating a better society. In the experience of theater, we witness differences, recognize commonalities, and learn empathy. Theater has the capacity to feel personal and intimate — to create palpable emotional connections between the performers and audience members in real time. RTC is committed to bringing art to life by exciting the hearts and minds of our audiences. As one of actor Lily Tomlin’s characters says, “We go to the theater to get a goose bump experience.” We hope this is your experience after seeing one of our productions. Lights up!
