The Trojan Women  Directed by Leah Adcock-Starr

​The Trojan Women
adapted by Caroline Bird after Euripides
directed by Leah Adcock-Starr

January 6 - 28, 2017 
​The Slate Theater - 815 Seattle Blvd. S.


This radical retelling of Euripides' The Trojan Women transports the famous anti-war tragedy to the modern setting of a prison hospital. Both brutal and wickedly funny, Caroline Bird’s adaptation dares us to see ourselves and our time reflected in this ancient story of the women of Troy.

Reviews

"This 'Trojan Women' is a concise and sharp swipe at Euripides’ continuously popular tragedy, and helps explain why we can’t leave it alone. This production is like a peek into a fetid little bunker that 'Apocalypse Now' didn’t take the time to explore."

"
Engaging with the narrative underbelly of a burning and broken city at war, Civic Rep’s production folds audience members into a story of vengeance, resilience, and power....People most affected by the decisions of those in power are often the least heard in decision-making. In the times we find ourselves in, critical art like Civic Rep’s The Trojan Women reminds us never to stop asking that question."
