Review of "An Iliad" at Cleveland Play House
by Bob Abelman 19 Jan '19

19 Jan '19

‘An Iliad’ at Cleveland Play House takes us on a theatrical odyssey Bob Abelman Cleveland Jewish News, The News Herald, The Morning Journal In “An Iliad” – an OBIE and Lortel Award-winning play conceived not long after the United States invaded Iraq and produced off-Broadway in 2012 – playwrights Lisa Peterson and Denis O’Hare offer a compressed, contemporized and intensely compelling take on Homer’s nearly 3000-year-old epic poem “The Iliad.” The 100-minute, one-act play draws on Robert Fagles’ accessible translation of the original work. It is made even more accessible by the highly theatrical, direct-address storytelling performed by a single actor portraying a veteran chronicler of the decade-long Trojan War and a single on-stage musician on double bass. Together, The Poet and his musical muse weave tales of domination and destruction – the defiance that drives Achilles, the killing of his best friend Patroclus, the conflicts that hound Hector, and Priam's journey to beg for the body of his son, among them – and bring 54 characters, mostly male, to life. And death. Devout wives grieving the loss of husbands, heartbroken mothers lamenting the death of sons, powerless sex slaves and woefully misguided goddesses. These are the women who reside in the periphery of the Homer’s classic story. And, in this Cleveland Play House incarnation, the story is told by women.

Berko review: AN ILIAD @ Cleveland Play House
by Roy Berko 19 Jan '19

19 Jan '19

*•••••••••••••••••••••••••••* *CAPSULE JUDGMENT: In **a virtuoso performance, Tarah Flanagan, using language that ranges from contemporary realism to epic poetry, and inhabiting over 50 characters, challenges us to realize the role of rage and think, “How do you know you’ve won?” As the modern day conflicts in Vietnam, Syria and Afghanistan illustrate, “How do you know?” This is an absolute “must see” production for anyone who desires to experience a theater production at its finest and is willing to probe what makes us human.* *To read the entire review go to: **www.royberko.info* <http://www.royberko.info>*. ** To read the capsule judgements of the other Cleveland reviewers go to: **www.clevelandtheaterreviews.com* <http://www.clevelandtheaterreviews.com> *••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••*
