Theater of War Productions tries to create a dialogue about Israel and Palestine through the Iliad and “The Trojan Women,” Eric Lach writes.

Three hundred and forty people had R.S.V.P.’d. College I.D.s were checked at the door.

The actors included the Tony winner Lois Smith, the Obie winner Elizabeth Marvel, and Glenn Davis, an artistic director of the Steppenwolf Theatre Company. The seven students, several of whom identified as Jewish or Arab, played the chorus. An eighth chorus member had got nervous and dropped out. The actors sat at a long table draped in black cloth. For an hour, they read their lines with blunt emotion.
