description: Masterfully adapted by Lisa Peterson and Denis O'Hare from Robert Fagles's acclaimed translation, "An Iliad" telescopes Homer's Trojan War epic into a gripping monologue that captures both the heroism and horror of war. Crafted around the stories of Achilles and Hector, in language that is by turns poetic and conversational, "An Iliad" brilliantly refreshes this world classic. What emerges is a powerful piece of theatrical storytelling that vividly drives home the timelessness of mankind's compulsion toward violence.
