About the show: There are no winners of war, only survivors. When Agamemnon sacrifices his young daughter to win the Trojan War, he condemns his relationship with his wife and his kingdom. This new adaptation of the ancient Greek myth focuses on the irreversible damage Agamemnon’s sacrifice brings upon his relationship with Clytemnestra and follows her grief, rage, and search for vengeance after such betrayal. This play reminds audiences that even the wealthiest cannot escape the effects of war, and everything and everyone is impacted by want and cycles of violence.
