Special Presentation: The Trojan War and The Odyssey Experience two of the greatest epics of all time in their most powerful form—performed live by master storytellers. With gesture and voice, David Morden and Hugh Lupton revive the oral tradition, combining elements of live poetry, classical and street theater, and oratory to create spine-tingling performances that convey the sound, fury, and emotional resonance of these two classic tales from Greek literature.

Dates: Friday and Saturday, November 16 and 17, 2007 Hugh Lupton and Daniel Morden took the Iliad back to its roots and into the 21st century The wedding party which sparks off the siege of Troy becomes a hilarious expose of human vanity and competitiveness, setting the bravado of the mortal male against the cool calculation of the goddess but where Lupton and Morden really excel is in their remodelling of the famous battle scenes and the men who fight in them Themes of warmongering, hubris and nationalistic fervour are, of course, particularly pertinent at this time So, praise be to Morden and Lupton, who made the gods live in a project that is serious, moving and vital." |
