PAST EVENT
The Iliad – Out Loud Part One
William Zappa and Sport for Jove | Australia

Homer’s Iliad is the HBO series of the classics – the greatest story of heroism, betrayal and war. The world’s oldest ‘performed story’ is thrillingly brought to life by Anglo-Greek Australian actor and playwright William Zappa in this new rhythmic adaptation – complete with episode recaps – performed by four actors and a live score of percussion and oud.

With contemporary language, Zappa breathes life into the wit and wrath of the gods, updating Homer’s forensic exploration of the battlefields of Troy.

Presented in one day, or in three parts over three nights, audiences can book individual sessions or settle in for a full day to binge-watch this thrillingly immediate staging of a seminal statement on humanity.

The Iliad – Out Loud is presented in three parts over three nights, then performed together on 27 January from 10am. Purchase tickets for Part Two here and Part Three here.  

Please note three-night (Wed–Fri) show packages + Sunday packages are now sold out.

A great show is best accompanied with a fantastic feast. Combine your show ticket with a Festival Feasts dining package with Zahli for $55 + $1 booking fee.
