Trojan Barbie by Christine Evans
31 May 2017 7:00 PM - 3 Jun 2017 7:00 PM
Directed by Gaye Poole
Performed by Theatre Studies' Play Production students.
As the fall of Troy ripples through time, Christine Evans contorts past with present in Trojan Barbie. Alongside a backdrop of modern warfare we follow Lotte, on holiday in modern Turkey, as she crosses paths with Trojan women (Hecuba, Andromache) in a US military war encampment. Ancient myth melds with modern warfare. Cassandra and PollyX encounter modern soldiers. Helen of Troy is the 'war bitch'.
“If you like your live theatre thought-provoking, heart-wrenching, and cathartic, then Christine Evans’ Trojan Barbie… is for you." - Huffington Post.
