This passionate Greek tragedy is, sadly, as relevant today as it was when it was written over 2,400 years ago.

The terrors and tragedy of war have not changed- it continues to bring as much wretchedness to the victors as to the defeated.
After nine years of fighting, the Greeks have defeated the Trojans. The victorious men have inflicted the most ruthless violence on defenceless women and children but see only the glory of war.

Eight battered women, who have seen their husbands killed, their
families enslaved and the land that reared them destroyed, await their fate. The barbaric atrocities they suffer are unbearable and yet their spirits remain unconquered and unconquerable.

Today wars, between countries, communities and cultures, still rage around the world, continuing to make news headlines, continuing to rob people of their human dignity, continuing to cause devastation – which is why Euripides’s classic offers a transfixing
evening of theatre which should not be missed.
