Seven years have passed since the end of the Trojan War and Menelaus,
King of Sparta and husband to Helen, is making his slow and painful
way home. When his ship is wrecked on the coast of Egypt he stumbles
upon what seems to be his wife lingering outside the royal palace. But
if this is the real Helen, who was the beautiful woman stolen by
Paris, for whom all Greece took up arms? Did Troy fall for nothing?
Has it all been some god's idea of a joke?
Frank McGuinness's version of Euripides' _Helen_ premiered at
Shakespeare's Globe, London, in August, 2009.
