Renowned writer and director Lillian Groag (A.C.T.'s The Rivals) reignites the wrath of Greek warrior Achilles against his archrival, Agamemnon, in a wildly theatrical, totally modern interpretation of one of the mightiest conflicts of all time. Adapted from lauded contemporary poet Christopher Logue's ravishing translation of the Iliad that was 45 years in the making, War Music is a groundbreaking fusion of language, music, and movement as only A.C.T. can create.
"Brilliantly original, consummately crafted . . . it is poetry that shines with greatness"
