She is fated to tell this “explosive, altogether breathtaking” story throughout history, “brilliantly meshing past and present calamity, with touches of the most caustic dark humor suddenly shifting into unimaginable pathos. AN ILIAD was directed by Andrew Thornton and will feature Anne Mason from Relative Theatrics.
