This gripping, new production of Lisa Peterson and Denis O'Hare's adaptation of Homer's Ancient Greek saga has garnered five-star reviews and sold-out performances across the season.

Directed by Damien Ryan with a performance by David Wenham , An Iliad also features live music composed and performed by double bassist Helen Svoboda.

A wry, witty and world-weary poet introduces himself as a storyteller, bound to recount the myth of the Trojan War until humanity can overcome its rage for violence and destruction.

Award-winning international star David Wenham returns to Sydney Theatre Company as the Poet: a man who has spent millennia walking through battlefields, trenches and cities torn to the ground, spreading his story to every corner of the world. Finally, he attempts to quit telling this tale.

Lisa Peterson and Denis O'Hare's acclaimed and dynamic adaptation transforms Homer's Ancient Greek saga of heroes, gods and battles into an urgent and personal exploration of difference, disagreement and the devastation of war.

Led by one of Australia's most innovative directors, Damien Ryan (Sport for Jove), and accompanied on stage by double bassist Helen Svoboda, this is Sydney's opportunity to see Wenham up close in the intimacy of Wharf 1 Theatre.

An Iliad plays at STC's Wharf 1 Theatre from 13 April until 28 June 2026.
