Avi Hoffman Takes on 5,000 Years Of War In Outre's An Illiad by Bill Hirschman

Playing a 5,000-year-old poet decrying humanity's addiction to rage and violence, clothing his warning in a modern retelling of Homer's epic tale of the Trojan War, this is not your grandma's Avi Hoffman sitting here. But it is Hoffman sitting here in rehearsal, striving to learn 47 pages of dense script as the sole storyteller in Outré Theatre Company's An Illiad slated to open Friday at The Studio at Mizner Park.
