The Trojan Women

See it if Appreciate an ancient story brought into the 21 century. Surprisingly relevant and as heartbreaking today as the story was 3200 years ago.

Don't see it if You insist on elaborate staging or costumes. It's a stripped down performance with less props than even the Greeks would have used.

See it if you enjoy classical theater. It's pretty straight-forward.

Don't see it if you're frustrated by heightened language/prefer hyper-realism and modernism.

See it if You love history and being truly immersed in a show. The actors have a way of making the audience members feel the raw emotions.

Don't see it if you have no soul.

See it if You seek catharsis from your theatre and enjoy experiencing ancient texts through a contemporary lens

Don't see it if You need plastic, polished performances. You don't like highly intimate spaces. You don't like to be deeply shaken.

See it if you like Greek drama or classical theater. Great staging and a couple of truly fantastic performances. Simple and straightforward.

Don't see it if you don't want to be challenged. This is heavy stuff and fairly academic. A very bare bones production.

See it if You want to become involved in the material, challenged to think about important issues

Don't see it if you would prefer to be amused than involved

See it if you want to cry like a baby in front of a room of strangers.

Don't see it if you're afraid that once the floodgates open they won't close again.

See it if you want to support young actors fully committing to a difficult text.

Don't see it if you don't have a spare hour to encourage the next generation of actors and theatre makers.

See it if you like to be challenged at the theater. This is not an easy piece to watch, but it is magnificently well-done.

Don't see it if you are a cold human who doesn't practice empathy.
