The Department of Theatre Arts at Saddleback College presents The Trojan Women, a tragedy by the Greek playwright Euripides adapted by Ellen McLaughlin.
“The Trojan Women” has long been considered an innovative and artistic portrayal of the aftermath of the Trojan War, as well as a penetrating depiction of the barbaric behavior of Euripides’ own countrymen towards the women and children of the people they subjugated in war.
It is often considered one of Euripides’ greatest works, and among the best anti-war plays ever written.
