Based on Homer’s
“The Iliad,” this amazing epic set in 1193 B.C. tells the story of
Prince Paris who stole the beautiful Helen from her husband, the king of
Sparta, setting the two kingdoms at war with each other. The Greeks begin a bloody siege of Troy
led by Achilles (Pitt) that would last for over ten years and become legendary.
PROMOTION IDEA:
Have your theater department
dress up in period costumes and act out some scenes from The Iliad before the show.
