A TROJAN WOMAN

by Sara Farrington
directed by Meghan Finn

​

Bosnia, Gaza, Mariupol — a woman with her child, alone in a devastated city, confronts the indiscriminate cruelty of war. Euripides’ The Trojan Women was the original anti-war play, first performed in Athens in 415 BCE as a searing protest against the Peloponnesian War. Now, in a taut, solo, contemporary adaptation, A TROJAN WOMAN by Sara Farrington brings this ancient cry of anguish into the present. Directed by The Tank's award-winning Artistic Director Meghan Finn and starring international actress Drita Kabashi, this urgent production blends biting satire with a howl of grief and rage. In an age of relentless conflict, A TROJAN WOMAN reminds us why Euripides' masterpiece has remained vital for over two millennia.
