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.
Saturn Return is the astrological transit that occurs when the planet Saturn returns to the same zodiac sign, degree, and house in a person's birth chart as it was at the time of their birth.
Tori and Franklin reunite with a group of friends in their suburban hometown where they all grew up as "theatre kids," to attend the funeral of one of their friends. On the cusp of turning 30, they seek solace in each other’s company as they compare experiences of growing pains and uncertainties about growing up and the way ahead on the path to adulthood.
The play, a world premiere by Gracie Gardner, is a comical discourse about the critical passage from the alienation of youth toward navigating adulthood without falling into the disillusion of the middle class establishment and remaining true to yourself and the pursuit of your dreams.
