Trojan Woman

The story itself follows Hecuba, the wife of the late King Priam and the former Queen of Troy, and her daughter in law, Andromache, the wife of the late Prince Hector, and the surviving women of Troy in the days following the siege of their city. All the women are trapped in an encampment just outside their city’s fallen walls, and await their fates at the hands of the Greeks; all the while, a young soldier grapples with his actions once he is faced with the suffering of people he has now met, and makes a connection that shatters his worldview.

This world premiere adaptation expands upon Euripides’ original work – adding characters that are only mentioned in the original text, expanding the conflict between characters and deepening the humanity of the tragedy.  Euripides’ original text is a beautiful poetic lament; but this adaptation is truly a play – and one that preserves, protects and does not apologize for the heightened nature of Greek Theatre performance style, while also molding and shaping the story into a more dynamic structure that modern audiences can easily access and be pulled into the world of.

Featuring original music, choreography, student musical accompaniment, and highly sophisticated performance and technical theatre work, this is a production that we as an educational theatre company could not be prouder of, and we would love to see you at the show!
