Something to be thankful for

by Traci Brant in

I’ve linked to all the rave reviews that have rolled in for An Iliad at the bottom of this post, but I also wanted to share some of the responses we’ve received from our patrons with you. An Iliad seems to have captured that uniquely galvanizing, electrifying, and unifying kind of magic only live theatre can provide, and we here at Court are quite thankful for that.

“Speechless…I’ve never, never been so stunned or moved. Tim is apotheosized. I’ve never experienced the like.”

“This was the most magnificent play I have ever attended at Court or really anywhere. I consider…tonight an Academy Award performance.”

“Engrossing. A brilliantly staged one-man show.”

“So real, it’s hard to remember I’m watching someone perform a script.” “Must see.”

“Amazing—storytelling unlike any other I’ve seen.”

“Incredible anti-war expression.”

“Excellent, thought provoking, truly felt performance.”

“Vivid and imaginative.”

“Great job of bringing this piece to life for the modern audience.” “Must see theatre!”

“Loved the modern touch to it and the conversational nature.”

“Amazing lighting and ambience, acting, direction, and so forth.”

“You can come to this production without having read the Iliad and understand it completely.”

“He had more energy than anyone in any monologue I have seen.”

“See it, see it now!”
