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.
