The Red Bull Theater's workshop of Olivier Kemeid's adaptation of The Aeneid, featuring music by Tony Award-winning Spring Awakening composer Duncan Sheik, is presented Feb. 11-12 in Manhattan.

Judith G. Miller authored the translation of Virgil's classic tale of a search for a homeland, which has been transplanted "into the modern world of middle-eastern revolution." The Aeneid received a staged reading under the wings of the Red Bull Theater in November 2011.

Kay Matschullat, who staged Carson McCullers Talks About Love (also with music by Sheik) and several readings for Red Bull, helms the workshops that take place Feb. 11 at 2 PM and 8 PM; and Feb. 12 at 3 PM at the Theater at St. Clement's.

The workshop cast includes Tony Award nominee Trazana Beverley, Maha Chehlaoui, Ramsey Faragallah, Bhavesh Patel and Heather Raffo.

Andromache Chalfant provides designs for the workshop.

Tickets are available by visiting RedBullTheater or by calling (212) 352-3101. The Theater at St. Clement's is located at 423 West 46th Street in Manhattan.
