Trojan Women

The Clarice Smith Performing Arts Center presents Euripides’ Trojan Women. The torch of hope burns within a landscape of terror in this eloquent and beautiful retelling of this ancient Greek tragedy. Written in a contemporary voice by actress and playwright Ellen McLaughlin, the powerful tale of the aftermath of the Trojan War remains vitally relevant in today’s world. In this age-old dirge, the women of Troy encounter the utter loss of love, motherhood, freedom and the earth upon which they nurtured their lives and dreams. Although the flame is flickering, it refuses to expire.
