NY EVENT: The Trojan Women
Poseidon and Athena tell of the fall of the Trojan regime, informing us that tough decisions will have to be made in its wake. Journalist Talthybius follows the fate of the vanquished, using Geraldo-style tactics to land exclusive interviews with Helen and Andromache. Poseidon leads a political roundtable in the style of Charlie Rose. You are the studio audience, called upon to determine the fate of the vanquished.
Through a unique presentation, drawn almost entirely from the original Euripides text, this unconventional Trojan Women shows how the decline of objective, non-participatory press affects our collective awareness of suffering.
