"The Trojan Women"

Troy, the jewel of the Aegean Sea, is destroyed, the Trojans are all dead. The war is over and the victorious Greek alliance is preparing to return home. After being taken prisoner as hostages and trophies, the Trojan women wait in the rubble to be sold. They have lost everything that was important to them, and now the last thing they possess, the power to determine how their stories will continue, is to be taken away from them too. A pious wish anyway in a world where the fate of women is predetermined by men and gods. Troy lies defeated, but the women's war is not over yet. From the perspective of Queen Hecuba, her daughter Cassandra and the widowed Andromache, "The Trojan Women" tells with timeless relevance the incoherence of duty and morality, power and powerlessness in times of war when there is no ultimate truth.
