‘The Trojan Women’
A joint production of “The Trojan Women” by Euripides will be mounted by the University of Canterbury Drama Society and the university’s drama studies programme in the Ngaio Marsh Theatre on September 8 and 9, then again on September 13, 14 and 15. If has been translated and directed by Robin Bond of the classics department. “Presented first in Athens in 415 BC ‘The Trojan Women’ remains one of the great dramatic statements on the horrors of war and its effects on perpetrator and aggressor alike,” says the director. He says his production intends to concentrate on bringing the universality of the play across to a modern audience. His new translation is intended to be direct and comprehensible, while recapturing the verse patterns of the original.
