“It was the tenth year of the siege of Troy, the year that Calchas, the soothsayer, had predicted that the city would fall.” Paris of Troy chose Aphrodite the Goddess of Love as the fairest of all and gained Helen, the most beautiful woman in the world, as his reward. However Helen’s furious husband, determined to get her back, assembled a fleet of a thousand ships, sailed to Troy and laid siege to the city. Now, all the mightiest Princes of Ancient Greece are camped before Troy’s high walls in their black, beached ships.
“A unique, powerful and compelling piece of time travel.”
“It was breathtaking and awesome!”
Award-winning storyteller Clare Goodall and historical musician Lizzie Gutteridge combine forces to bring you an epic tale of love, tragedy and loss in an energetic and punchy adaptation, where the characters come to life even if that life then ends brutally in bloodshed. Atmospheric musical accompaniment adds to the impact, with a mixture of ancient Greek music and improvisation on aulos (ancient double pipes) and lyres.
This is the epic that everyone had heard of but few have read. Our adaptation brings it to life, showing why it’s been so well known for 3,000 years, and how it deals with issues that are still relevant today…
