Andromaque - Etrailer
Added: 09 February 2009
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.
