Call none
of us lucky before we die.
The war is
over. The Greeks are victorious. Troy is in ruins.
Only Troy’s
women are left - their husbands, fathers and sons are dead. They wait to be
divided up. To become the slaves of their enemies. War booty.
The women
wait, homeless, loveless. They wait for their fates to be decided.
This play
was first performed in 415 BC, during the Peloponnesian War and remains a
powerful exploration of how war impacts on the lives women and children.Performance Duration: 1 hour 15 minutes Updatestag:peatix.com,2016-10-03 07:32:432016-10-03 07:32:43The event description was updated.
