After the
Trojan war, the men of Troy have been killed and the women
are left to make sense of the tragedy. We meet the seer Cassandra, the
beautiful Helen and Andromache caring for her
child.
This is
an intelligent play that is worth seeing. First and foremost, this play looks
at the silly reasons why countries go to war – love and national pride.
Additionally, this play also looks at how the characters are affected by war.
Some characters don’t change, while other characters refuse to accept
reality. The only blemish on the play is that I thought they portrayed the
character of Cassandra as a bit of a fool. Even though other characters might
dismiss her visions, I think her character should show more passion and
conviction than craziness.
