In a flash of modern warfare (Ukraine? Afghanistan? Vietnam? Poland? Hiroshima? Congo? Tigray? Sudan?) A mother loses her child. In her moment of tragic realization, she becomes a Trojan woman, performing every iconic character in Euripides’ original play, The Trojan Women.
A new, solo version of the world’s first anti-war play, originally performed in Athens in 415 BC as playwright Euripides' protest against the Peloponnesian War. A Trojan Woman by Sara Farrington had its World premiere at the Interbalkan Festival of Ancient Drama, Athens, Greece, July 2023 & US premiere at Luna Stage, NJ, March 2024. A Trojan Woman is now available in print, published by Broadway Play Publishing.
“Words on paper cannot begin to describe the effect this play will have on those who see it. Its message may be as old as time but it is one that repeats down through the ages. I cannot urge you more strongly to see A Trojan Woman.” — Out in Jersey
