[NEohioPAL] REVIEW: An Iliad at CPH (Laura Kennelly)

[Laura Kennelly]

An Iliad @ the Cleveland Play House through 2/7

Review by Laura Kennelly

How about a war story? Stomping across the bare floor of the Outcalt
Theatre, the seemingly indefatigable Tarah Flanagan as The Poet calls upon
the muses to sustain and inspire her as she recounts *An Iliad*. Her
version, crafted by Lisa Peterson and Denis O’Hare, is based on the Robert
Fagles translation of Homer’s classic.

Co-directed by Flanagan and Andrew Carlson, the tale plucks key incidents
(usually tumultuous ones) from the Greeks’ 10-year battle to conquer the
beautiful city of Troy. It’s a story of tragedy (if you are rooting for
Troy) and one of triumph (if you are for the Greeks) as woven into Homer’s
epic of battle and death.
