Queen Hecuba and the women of Troy mourn and honour their city on the morning after its destruction. Together, they grieve the loss of loved ones and way of life as they await their fates at the hands of their Greek captors.

With an accessible contemporary adaptation from Euripides’ classic, Troy Women is a chilling, brutal, yet courageous portrait of survival during war.

"In Troy Women, RSA tackles themes of violence, sexuality and war," says Education Director Paul Muir. "We believe that we must not shelter our students from the realities of the sometimes brutal world we live in, but rather learn how to walk humbly into that broken world with respect, dignity and grace."

Featuring students from the RSA Mentorship Programme.
