Overview

Kicking off the International Festival of Ancient Greek Drama is one of Euripides most important plays, Trojan Women.

The play follows the story of the Trojan women and their queen Hecuba – captured after the sack of their city – and their tribulations at the hands of the Achaeans.

Any members of the royal family left are forced to become the property of the Achaeans, while Hecuba’s grandson, Astyanax, has been thrown from the walls of the city.

As Troy is destroyed in flames, the desperate women are taken to the ships that will carry them across the Aegean to become slaves in the homes of the Achaeans victors. Human pain takes on universal dimensions. The lamentation of women, mothers, spouses, sisters reveals the face of human nature.

Trojan Women is being put on by the theatre company Theatro Ena.  Guests are requested to arrive at 20:45 to be seated.

There will be English surtitles during the performance.
