IN FRENCH

Remarkable audacity... absolute clarity... Donnellan is one of the most original directors in theatre today.
Le Figaro, Paris

The most anticipated theatrical event of the year... Angry ghosts emerge from dark corners to unleash the pain, raw anger and denial that are bolted into Racine's tidy rhymes like cluster bombs in the sheath of a shiny artillery shell.'
The Guardian, London

The Trojan War ended in a blaze of shame, a massacre of horrific proportions.

Now the children of Troy's Greek conquerors face the impossible task of living up to their immortalised parents.

Hector's widow, Andromaque, lives only to save her son. When the Greeks demand his surrender, she is given an appalling dilemma.

Racine exposes our capacity for self deception with lacerating clarity.
