National Theatre of Northern Greece – Niketi Kontouri

Euripides, Trojan women


Trojan Women, the tragedy of the defeated, presents on stage the life of the captive Trojan women after the fall of Troy, before they are taken as slaves by the Greeks. Among them, former mighty Queen Hecuba, tragic seeress Cassandra and tender Andromache have to watch powerless as their men are sacrificed one by one, victims of the inhuman demands of the Greeks.


This performance of Euripides’ ever-relevant anti-war play – first performed in 415 BC during the Peloponnesian War – marks Leda Protopsalti’s debut in Epidaurus.
