	The Trojan Women (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-19)
		The show “Trojan Women” is set the day after the end of the Trojan War when the women awake to find their city in ruins, and their husbands and children all dead, or gone.
		Whitney Wilson, in the role of Helen, extends the women’s grief and heartache as Wilson states her story with ease and poise, successfully leaving the audience struggling with whether to hate her for beginning this travesty or forgive her.
		The Trojan women prepare for a life as slaves to their enemies; a life away from their husbands and sons; a life away from their beloved Troy, now wasted by the Greeks.

	The Trojan Women
		The Trojan Women (in Greek, Troiades) is a tragedy by the Greek playwright Euripides.
		The Trojan Women is part of a trilogy of connected tales, along with Alexandros and Palamedes, and they were presented at the Dionysia along with the comedic satyr play Sisyphos.
		The four Trojan women of the play are the same that appear in the final chapter of the Iliad lamenting over the corpse of Hector.

		The Trojan Women is not so much a tragic story as a portrayal of a tragic situation whereby Euripides dramatizes the postwar conditions of these women of Troy, the spoils of war.
		Euripides is often iconoclastic, dramatizing unconventional views, especially by underscoring the plight of women and slaves; in the The Trojan Women we see that the slave women possess a nobility of mind that stands in striking contrast to the inhumanity of the victorious Greek warriors.
		For Hecuba and the Trojan Women, it is the Achaean warriors' irrefutable lack of compassion--the callous disregard for the lives of innocent women and children--that squanders humanity.

	The lasting significance of The Trojan Women
		The slave women bemoan not only their future, about which they are in the dark, but also their being severed from the environment and the life which they have got used to even as slaves.
		The women waiting at the camp which is their temporary dwelling as well as their prison, until their fates are finally sealed, descend deeper and deeper into the depths of misery as they are exposed to the barbarism of the enemy.
		Helen, when she appears in front of the women prisoners' camp, seems not only estranged from the Trojan women, she is also rather aloof from the destruction wrought on the Trojans by the invaders.

		She goes on to explain how she rejoiced over the deaths of the Trojan men while the Trojan women were grieving.
		In one scene of the play, a Trojan woman, Cassandra, is talking to her mother after the fall of Troy.
		Although the Trojan women seem to blame Helen for their misery, the man who Helen left for a foreigner still claims her to be innocent.

		"The Trojan War" was written by the Greek tragic dramatist Euripides as a plea for peace after the Athenians had slaughtered the populace of the island of Melos for refusing to aid Athens in the war against Sparta, and as preparations were being made for the ruinous expedition against Syracuse.
		Wars always hurt the women and children most-- Andromache's son almost steals the movie, by the way-- and while the weaponry and locales may change, war in 2005 is not that much different than it ever was, a sad, sobering thought.
		Trojan Women is one of the best dramas written by Euripides 480~406 BC and can be truly appreciated from the way Cacoyannis remain faithful to the original script(415 BC)and his ability to transfer a theater masterpiece to a film.

	The Trojan Women of Euripides
		The Trojan Women was first performed in 415 BC, from a story of the siege of Troy which even then was ancient history.
		Euripides shows us, as the centre of his drama, women battered and broken by inconceivable torture - the widowed Hecuba, Andromache with her child dashed to death, Cassandra ravished and made mad - yet does he show that theirs are the unconquered and unconquerable spirits.
		The Trojans came out and found the horse, and after wondering greatly what it was meant for and what to do with it, made a breach in their walls and dragged it into the Citadel as a thank-offering to Pallas.

		It was produced in 415 BC, shortly after the capture of Melos by the Athenians, who slaughtered its male inhabitants and enslaved its women and children.
		One of the most poignant of Euripidean dramas, it presents not so much a narrative as a tragic situation: the condition of the Trojan women when their menfolk have been killed and they are at the mercy of their captors.
		The Trojan queen Hecuba is to become the possession of the hated Odysseus; her daughter Cassandra has been allotted to Agamemnon, and it is revealed that her other daughter Polyxena has been slaughtered on the tomb of Achilles.

		The chorus of captive Trojan women sing about Troy's past and their own future -- both painful topics which, however, are distanced by means of lyric elaboration.
		Lamentation is the most consistent and recurrent of the Trojan women's speech modes, and Clay carries it off with panache.
		Trojan Women, abounds in cries of woe -- oimoi, otototoi, and the like -- that are almost impossible to translate.

		In Charles Mee Jr's vivid and powerful adaptation of "The Trojan Women", the plight of war's victims, especially women, is unrelenting and wrenching.
		Soldiers die at the point of a sword, but women, children and civilizations drown in the blood they spill.
		Their commitment is palpable, and their ability to embody real pain, real suffering and real fear makes for an unnerving, to say nothing of uncomfortable, experience.

	Digital Analogue: The Trojan Women
		Talthybios is put in that difficult position of representing parties he has come to disagree with, and the internal struggle that develops there is played out progressively in each successive appearance on the stage.
		Even the chorus of eight women, despite speaking in a unison that almost resembles a chant, manage to convey the despair of the everyday Trojan women, who lost their fathers, husbands, brothers, and sons, and now are going to be further separated from each other, sent to a life of slavery.
		It's perhaps because of the chorus form that we can really see this as representing all the surviving women of the city---I've not seen Greek plays before, but the chorus is a surprisingly effective method of delivery, at least when done this well.

	Background to the Trojan Women
		For ten years the Greeks and the Trojans (the people of Troy) engaged in a bloody and savage war, which came to be known as the Trojan War.

	, a CurtainUp review
		The women who were not chosen as concubines are simply shot; only a young ten-year-old girl escapes, shouting, "Remember me." to which one of the women declares "Now you know the bitterness of war." It is indeed a shrill denunciation of imperialism and aggression.
		The Blacks was a glorious confusion, an exercise in intentional mayhem; The Trojan Women is a stark, haunting portrayal of war, as visually arresting as it is aurally.
		The women are caged, behind walls of chicken wire and two heavy doors that lead to an Auschwitz-like loading area.

	Theatre review: Trojan Women
		Theatre South Carolina’s current play, The Trojan Women, written by Euripides, with an adaptation by Jean-Paul Sartre and an English version by Ronald Duncan, seems to have been “Lost in Translation,” as the popular movie states.
		But when the Trojan women enter, suddenly it seems they have switched from dialogue to monologue, all of which are delivered as if every word were written in bold or italic, resulting in one-note performances.
		Trojan Women is at Drayton Hall Theatre through February 29.

	The Trojan Women
		The heroines of The Trojan Women -- Hecuba, Cassandra and Andromache -- are the displaced wives and daughters of military heroes.
		These women are prisoners, encamped in Troy following the city's fall.
		(That another woman, Helen, caused the Trojan War -- and that she herself may be a different kind of prisoner -- is bitterly ironic.) In a particularly harrowing incident, the child of Andromache is taken for sacrifice.

	'The Trojan Women' Remixed For Today (washingtonpost.com)
		Unfortunately, she falls short attempting to revise "The Trojan Women," Euripides's 415 B.C. tragedy, which is playing at the University of Maryland's Clarice Smith Performing Arts Center in College Park.
		Again, it is striking but diminishes the emotional impact by focusing on the group at the expense of the individual, particularly as one of the playwright's signatures is to have several of the roles played by multiple actors at each performance.
		By the play's end, the women of Troy are supposed to be frustrated with the gods, but the audience's frustration with the playwright and director is a more obvious outcome.

	KDHX Theatre Review - The Trojan Women (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-19)
		Bonnie Kruger’s costumes dress the defeated Trojan women, now slaves of the Greeks, in rags and remnants of classical attire, while the Greek soldiers mix ancient helmets with shades and AK-47s, and the officer dresses like a 20th-century Fascist.
		Lindsay Brill, as Hecuba, the dethroned Trojan queen, carries the burden of the play’s laments.
		She has some striking moments, but she has a tendency to drop the ends of lines, which is not the kind of range in performance that this character needs.

	Euripides (c. 480-406 B.C.)
		His Trojan Women was written in response to an Athenian expedition in 416 B.C. which destroyed the city of Melos and slaughtered its men.
		Ten years earlier, he had written another stinging indictment of war in Hecuba which documents the cruelty of Greek warriors who enslave the Trojan queen and sacrifice her daughter at the tomb of Achilles.
		Thus, by dissolving the rigid structure of tragedy, Euripides opened the door for new forms of drama, as well as hybrids of existing forms.
