Description

An Iliad
"Every time I sing this song, I hope it’s the last time."

A wry, world-weary poet introduces himself as a storyteller, destined to recount the myth of the Trojan War until humanity can rise above its rage for violence and destruction.

Award-winning international star David Wenham returns to Sydney Theatre Company as the Poet: a man who has walked millennia of battlefields, trenches, and cities torn asunder, carrying his story to every corner of the world — and finally attempting to lay it down.

Lisa Peterson and Denis O’Hare’s acclaimed adaptation transforms Homer’s ancient Greek saga of heroes, gods, and epic battles into an urgent, deeply personal exploration of difference, disagreement, and the devastation of war.

Led by one of Australia’s most innovative directors, Damien Ryan (Sport for Jove), and accompanied on stage by a live musician, this is Sydney’s chance to see Wenham up close at the intimate Wharf 1 Theatre, delivering a performance hailed as “shocking, glorious, primal and deeply satisfying” (Time Out New York) — a powerful appeal for hope and empathy.
