About the show: Troy has fallen, her women reach out to each other, outward to us. Queen Hecuba and the Chorus attempt to comprehend and remember – reflecting the tragic consequences of war – asking what comes after the dust settles. “Perhaps the greatest antiwar play ever written” – Ellen McLaughlin’s choral, ever-contemporary version of Euripides’ Trojan Women draws together a diverse ensemble “of the most extraordinary roles for women in theatrical literature” as they undertake and endeavor to “transcend even the most terrible pain caused by human divisiveness and rancor.”
