London’s Free Open-Air Theatre Season 2015: Women of Troy

As the modern world re-evaluates its role in international conflict, Gods and Monsters Theatre presents a free, action-packed, open-air theatre season exploring how our ancestors regarded the morality of war, in comedy and drama. Running since 2003, this is London’s only ‘free to all’ annual season of classical theatre. There’s no need to book – just turn up and take a seat!

Women of Troy

As the skies darken over The Scoop so does our story. In some of the most powerful drama ever written, the Ancient Greek playwright Euripides spins his gripping account of the courageous women on opposing sides of the Trojan War - their sacrifices, triumphs and tragedies. This new adaptation by Lisa Kuma of Iphigenia at Aulis, Hecuba and The Trojan Women will resonate powerfully today, as the brutal use and abuse of women in conflicts around the world remains an urgent and burning issue.
