Milwaukee Chamber Theatre
The Milwaukee Chamber Theatre (MCT)
starts its 50th anniversary season off
strong with a production of An Iliad,
a modern retelling of Robert Fagles'
translation of Greek poet Homer's
compelling timeless epic about war, honor,
hubris, rage, and strength. The production
runs Sept. 20-Oct. 6.
Written by Lisa Peterson and Denis
O'Hare and directed by MCT Artistic
Director Brent Hazelton, the production
features N'Jameh Camara (The
Mountaintop) as The Poet and a live score
by Milwaukee artist Kellen "Klassik" Abston
(Where Did We Sit on the Bus?).
It is the first production to be performed
by MCT at the Milwaukee Youth Arts
Center's Goodman Mainstage Hall,
which has an in-the-round setup ideal for
audiences to fully experience the play.
