Scena takes a journey to the Ancient World (with a modern sensibility) in The Classics Made Easy, a trilogy of plays by Scena Artistic Director Robert McNamara.
Part 1, I Cyclops, is a comic retelling of Book 9 of Homer's great epic poem The Odyssey, from the point of view of the monster Polyphemus as played by two time Helen Hayes Award nominee Brian Hemmingsen.
Part 2, Thersites, is a wild ride through Homer's Illiad, as "the smallest and ugliest man in the Greek army" describes the true facts of the Trojan war. Award-winning actor Hugh Nees heads the cast.
Part 3, Gladiator, presents an anonymous gladiator meditating upon his fate prior to greeting his fans in the Colosseum.
Runs in a rotating repertory, April 30 - June 3, at the Warehouse Theater!
