Following its sold-out season at Sydney Theatre Company, award-winning international star David Wenham returns to this extraordinary role in this critically admired adaptation of Homer’s epic. Ancient myth collides with the modern world in a powerful, deeply personal meditation on conflict, compassion and what it means to remain human.

Directed by Damien Ryan (Artistic Director, Sport for Jove) and accompanied live on stage by musician Helen Svoboda, this is a rare opportunity to experience Wenham’s magnetic performance up close. Hailed by Time Out New York as “shocking, glorious, primal and deeply satisfying”, An Iliad is an unforgettable theatrical event and a stirring call for empathy in a world still at war.
