John Manfredi’s one-man reinterpretation of Homer’s “Iliad” takes the epic and hurls it into a time closer to our own, promising audiences an opportunity to reflect upon the original as well as explore its implications on war in the world today. Receiving four out of four stars by Detroit Free Press writer John Monaghan, I’m excited to see if Manfredi’s isolation on the stage will provide a hyper-focus into his character and the human mind that would not be as accessible with the distraction of multiple characters.
