Klappentext A contemporary retelling of Euripides' Women Of Troy, and Hecuba, After Troy exposing the cruelties of war both then and now. "Glyn Maxwell's drama does not so much conflate the two great tragedies of loss and revenge ["Women of Troy" and "Hecuba" but rather alights, magpie-like, on what is shiny in each to create a brand new play" -Lyn Gardner, "Guardian" Zusammenfassung New play from critically acclaimed poet, described as ?the best dramatic poet now at work?” by the Daily Telegraph
