In the spirit of celebration of 35 years of cutting edge performance, Undermain establishes its repertory series to honor the gems of its production history with a reboot of An Iliad, reviving the landmark production from 2012 starring Bruce DuBose and Paul Semrad and directed by Undermain Artistic Director Katherine Owens.
An Iliad is a modern-day retelling of Homer's classic. Poetry and humor, the ancient tale of the Trojan War and the modern world collide in this captivating theatrical experience. The setting is simple: the empty theater. The time is now: the present moment. The lone figure onstage is a storyteller, possibly Homer, possibly one of the many bards who followed in his footsteps. He is fated to tell this story throughout history.
Does love last longer than a lifetime? For the Rest of Our Lives, Erin Malone Turner’s poetic exploration of love and relationship, follows a young couple through multiple incarnations, from ancient times to present day.
The love they share is reborn along with them as they encounter one another in life as well as in between lives. In our own lives we may meet our “soul mate” but there is no guarantee that we will get the happy-ever-after ending promised in storybook romances. But, perhaps if love can persist across lifetimes, then any happiness found in the end will follow us across millennia.
