The Trojan Women
The strength of mankind has always been its women.
Directed by Mihalis Kakogiannis
Produced by Josef Shaftel Productions
A bleak, meditative tragedy centered on the grief and powerlessness of women in the aftermath of war, grounded in classical Greek drama.
In the aftermath of the Trojan Wars, Queen Hecuba takes stock of the defeated kingdom. Her son has been killed, and his widow, Andromache, is left to raise their son, Astyanax, alone. Hecuba's daughter, Cassandra, fears being enslaved by her Greek masters, while Helen of Troy risks being executed. Astyanax also becomes the focus of the Greeks' attention as the last male heir of the Trojan royal family.
