THE ILIAD
with Hugh Lupton and Daniel Morden

The story of the siege and fall of Troy is as contemporary now as it has ever been. It is a ‘blue-print’ for every war that has ever been fought – an extraordinary account of the savagery and mad ecstasy of the battle-field. It is also full of dark humour. This performance includes many famous episodes half-familiar to us all: the wrangle over the Apple of Discord; the abduction of Helen; the launching of a thousand ships; the wrath of Achilles; the death of Hector; the Trojan Horse....

Hugh Lupton and Daniel Morden are leading exponents of the art of storytelling. They have performed the Iliad and the Odyssey at venues and festivals throughout Britain. This masterpiece of storytelling will be presented at Storytelling Café tonight.
