The time is now: the present moment. The lone figure onstage is a storyteller — possibly Homer. He is fated to tell this story throughout history. It is a story of war.
“Mr. O’Hare and Ms. Peterson have telescoped the mighty expanses of Homer’s great poem into an evening that scales the conflict of the Trojan War down to an intimate solo show illuminating both the heroism and the horror of warfare.” -NY Times
