Wide Eyed re-imagines Euripides' THE TROJAN WOMEN, one of history's most powerful plays on the eternal tragedy of war and genocide, and brings the ancient text to new life with heart-pounding immediacy and the relevance inspired by our current American military operations.
The Trojan Women is directed by Kristin Skye Hoffmann, Artistic Director and Co-Founder of Wide Eyed Productions. She sets this retelling in a post modern Middle Eastern war zone. Her aim is not to merely illuminate the tragedies of war, but also to celebrate the strength and humanity of the victims.
