"Trojan Women" by Euripides

  Irish poet Brendan Kennelly's visceral adaptation of The Trojan Women revoices Euripides' classic tragedy through a sharp, immediate vernacular to confront the devastating realities of war and grief. Reframing the legendary conflict not as a fight over a woman, but as a direct war on women and womanhood, the play explores how profound suffering leads to unimaginable strength and an incandescent demand for vengeance.
