Wrath of Achilles

The Trojan War rages. 

As the Greek army throws themselves against Troy’s impenetrable walls, three desperate lives are woven together by the Fates.

A godlike warrior; his devoted companion; an enslaved queen. The three find a kindred spirit amongst the bloodshed, unaware that the choices they make will shape the course of ancient history.

Bedivere Arts’ new adaptation of Homer’s Iliad, complete with a cinematic original score by acclaimed composer George Jennings, explores modern ideas of masculinity and gender.

is suitably epic."

other and their own conflicting emotions."

"An interesting high quality modern version.
Much attention to detail has been given to

many pleasing visuals."

Wrath of Achilles is well-staged, well-
written, and has acting that would make
Homer proud."
