A modern-day version of Euripides' anti-war play, The Trojan Women
has been rewritten and is set in a mother-and-baby unit of a
prison. The war is over. Beyond the prison walls, Troy and its
people burn. Inside the prison, the city's captive women await
their fate. Stalking the antiseptic confines of its mother and baby
unit is Hecuba, the fallen Trojan queen, whilst the pregnant Chorus
is shackled to her bed. But their grief at what has been before
will soon be drowned out by the horror of what is to come, as the
Greek lust for vengeance consumes everything - man, woman and baby
- in its path. This caustic and radical new version of Euripides'
classic tragedy comes from one of the UK's most exciting young
poets, Caroline Bird. It is an intense, gripping look at what
happens when the world collapses.
