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.
