A version by Don Taylor

The Women of Troy by Euripides is a tragedy played out in the aftermath of the Trojan war. As dawn breaks on the ruins of Troy, Hecuba, the city’s queen and the Trojan women are confronted by the cruelty of their fates. The women take centre stage, and express their genuine despair as a result of the Trojan War. The Women of Troy is a series of lamentations that question the morality of men who seek revenge under the guise of justice. The play exposes the universal brutality of war and the tragic truth, that while war is devastating, particularly for the women and children of the vanquished, everyone suffers – victims and victors alike.

The Women of Troy, the complete production, filmed live at the Darebin Arts & Entertainment Centre, is available for streaming online.
