16:00, Tue 16th – Thu 18th June 2009 at Peterhouse Scholars' Garden
Easter May Week
'This is Troy, but Troy and we, are perished.' Euripides gives voice to the unheard women of a fallen Troy; women widowed, enslaved and forced from their homeland. Hecuba loses herself in grief, Cassandra is driven mad and Helen is finally judged as the root of a ten year war. Trojan Women, the greatest of the classic tragedies, will be performed as originally intended: outdoors in the Peterhouse gardens, May Week 2009.
