A Trojan Woman

A new version of the world's first anti-war play

In a flash of modern warfare, a mother loses her child, igniting a powerful one-woman journey through every iconic character in The Trojan Women. This reimagining of the world’s first anti-war play, originally staged in Athens in 415 BC as Euripides' protest against the Peloponnesian War, combines intense drama with uplifting and comedic physical theatre at its best. With world politics as they currently stand, this 2000 year old story reflects a world all too familiar!

This solo tour-de-force by renowned Albanian performer Drita Kabashi is written by critically acclaimed playwright Sara Farrington and directed by award-winning Meghan Finn, Artistic Director of The Tank and 2024 David Prize Recipient.
