The Women of Troy

06 November 2008 – 22 November 2008 Merlyn Theatre

Adapted from Euripedes'

Malthouse Theatre, Sydney Theatre Company,

Classic New Adaptation Theatre Co-Production

The men are dead but the slaughter continues. Imprisoned by their captors, the women of Troy huddle behind wire fences as their Greek conquerors mete out violence and destruction. Death seems a blessing given the alternatives, but fate walks a crooked line. Amid the ruin of Troy, Queen Hecuba struggles to find a path that will lead her women to freedom - visions and prophecies crowd around her, battling with the constant news of another child murdered, another friend betrayed.
