Drawing on the muscular translation by Robert Fagles, Lisa Peterson and Denis OHare have telescoped the mighty expanses of Homers great poem into an evening that scales the conflict of the Trojan War down to an intimate solo show, illuminating both heroism and the horror of warfare. In language by turns poetic and conversational, An Iliad brilliantly refreshes this world classic.
