Denis O’Hare announced via Twitter today that his True Blood co-star, Kristin Bauer, will appear on stage for four performances of his acclaimed adaptation of Homer’s classic An Iliad.

The production takes place at ArtsEmerson in Boston on April 27-28 and May 3-4. Tickets are available now to Members; no word yet on when non-Members will be able to purchase.

Visionary theatre artists Lisa Peterson and Denis O’Hare have crafted a sprawling yarn based on Homer’s epic poem in their OBIE-winning collaboration that begs the question: Has anything really changed since the Trojan War? An Iliadspins the familiar tale of gods and goddesses, undying love and endless battles told through the eyes of a single narrator, whose enigmatic experience of the war reverberates with today’s headlines. Peterson’s acclaimed, cutting edge work as a theatre director here combines with O’Hare’s inimitable range as an actor (Tony-winner for Take Me Out, television’s “True Blood”), to create a tour de force performance of this sweeping account of humanity’s unshakeable attraction to violence, destruction and chaos.
