Synopsis:

WOMEN OF TROY
By Euripides (written 415 BCE)

The morning after. The Greeks have won the Trojan War. The men are dead, the city is sacked and a terrible new dawn, as slaves and concubines, is the fate of the surviving Trojan women.

A familiar order upturned, faiths questioned and individuals deeply impacted, Euripides' anti-war classic gives agency to feminine and alternative perspectives rarely recorded in the history of power struggles.

WOMEN AT THE FESTIVAL OF THESMOPHORIA
By Aristophanes (written 411 BCE)

Someone wants Euripides dead. Actually, a lot of people do.

His crime? Insulting the women-folk. So what does the Greek tragedian do? Put a father-in-law in drag, a madcap discovery scheme in place and Aristophanes' travesty of his playwright peer's life falls into place as Thesmophoriazusae – also known as Women at the Festival of Thesmophoria.
