The Trojan Women
Directed by Ekysa Marden
A Mainstage Production
Inspired by Euripides’ classic anti-war tragedy, THE TROJAN WOMEN, written by acclaimed actress and playwright Ellen McLaughlin (“Angel” in Angels in America) explores the final moments of the great Trojan civilization as the invading Greeks pillage and rout the city. Queen Hecuba, the slave-concubine Andromache, and the mythic Helena, come together and walk among the ruins and together find spiritual strength and power in the midst of the horrors of war and enslavement imposed on them by the gods and by men.
