National Theatre / Women of Troy

E-trailer for the National Theatre's production of Women of Troy.

Katie Mitchell directs this radical interpretation of Euripides' great tragedy.

An industrial port of a war-torn city. Women survivors wait to be shipped abroad. Officials come and go. A grandmother, once Queen, watches as her remaining family are taken from her one by one. The city burns around them.

I did love watching this - the only thing I remember being disappointed by was the interpretation of Helen, but for the most part I thought they portrayed the sense of abandonment in the original quite well. Including the opening speeches frm the gods would've have given the play an additional layer of irony, but that might have subtracted from the characters' hopelessness, so I can sort of understand why they cut that bit out.

This looks like an amazing adaptation.

I think the music was a bit loud over the voice!

Im doing trojan women atm at college!

I think it might be from 'Sing Sing Sing' by Benny Goodman, but I'm not 100% sure - saw this play aswell, i thought it was amazing, some of the images were so stunning, loved the fires, the slow mo, the dances, Helen being trapped in that room at the top, Cassandra's crazy bits, all of it basically lol
