In The Godless War, a fictional nation's sole survivor brings the sweeping history of his felled land into striking clarity. Audiences are invited into a world of epic battles, homeric journeys, passionate romance, and gorgeous poetry, all brought to life by a single performer.
Over the course of seventy five minutes, our nameless storyteller weaves a tale brimming with excitement, mystery, and devastation. Beliefs are challenged, wars are waged, and secrets are revealed in a complex portrayal of a culture on the brink of extinction, and the futility of the violence that brought it there.
Written in Shakespearean verse, The Godless War brings audiences face to face with humankind's storied history of war, compelling them to ask the question - does war have to be a part of who we are?
