Penthesilea, Queen of the Amazons, sets eyes on the hero Achilles, and the ferocity of her passion collides with his stubborn will, setting in motion a tragicomedy of love and misunderstanding that threatens to derail the course of history.

Heinrich von Kleist, a contemporary of Schubert's, was one of the most inventive and enigmatic playwrights of the 19th century. Penthesilea is his unquestioned masterpiece. Now, internationally acclaimed writer John Banville (best known for his Man Booker Prize–winning novel The Sea, and as his alter ego, best-selling mystery writer Benjamin Black) tackles Kleist’s funny, explosive, and surprising masterwork Penthesilea in a world premiere production by Obie–winning director Ken Rus Schmoll.
