The Trojan Women

The Trojan Women tells the tale of four Trojan women who have survived the siege and sacking of Troy. Their husbands are dead, their families have been enslaved, and their once great city lies in ruin.

The ten-year Trojan War is over, but the women who remain have the challenging task of adapting to a new world order. The Trojan Women tells the story of how these women deal with calamitous events, and whose fates are often much worse than the swift deaths that were dealt to their husbands.
