Women and Troy

David Stuttart presents

Women and Troy

Starring Dame Siân Phillips and Rachel Donovan

As war-clouds gather and break over Troy, they threaten to consume the city’s women, including Queen Hekabe (aka Hecuba), the stalwart matriarch, Cassandra, her prophetess-daughter, and, caught in the crossfire, the Greek Helen, the most beautiful woman in the world.

All emerge from mythology as living, breathing, three-dimensional characters, whose stories are more relevant today than ever – and their increasingly intense and claustrophobic journey has a surprisingly upbeat ending.

Multi award winner Dame Siân Phillips explores the role of Queen Hekabe for the first time, joining Rachel Donovan (The Crown, Call the Midwife etc) in this emotional rollercoaster based on plays of Euripides, adapted, reconstructed or reimagined by author-director, David Stuttard.

The event includes a Q&A with performers and writer.
