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.
Jane Wagner’s ever-timely, iconic, one-woman show, The Search for Signs of Intelligent Life in the Universe examines American society, art, and human connectivity and explores the feminist movement. As one actor transforms into a series of other archetypal characters, they become the play’s guiding conscience for the audience - a comical, quirky, and outlandish conveyor of the nuances of American society.
Under the guidance of this beloved narrator, and her non-stop comic observations, the audience is treated to a mischievously clever observer of the society around her and the universe at large portrayed by Marianne Galloway, an Undermain Company Member.
