    Guilford  College's Department of Theatre Studies will present its fall production, Euripides’ classic drama The Trojan Women, on Nov. 7-8 and Nov. 13-15. All performances will take place in Sternberger Auditorium (located in Founders Hall), starting at 8 p.m. each evening. 

    The Greek tragedy takes place in the days following the fall of Troy, exploring the aftermath through the eyes of several of the defeated city-state’s female citizens, such as the former queen Hecube and Helen of Troy.

    “We came to The Trojan Women, really, because it speaks to the state of the world, as it has always spoken in times of turmoil,” says Professor of Theatre Studies David Hammond, who directs the production. “It's about the folly of aggression and conquest, and the power of the human spirit to survive even in devastation. And it asks us just how much we are willing to overlook, how many compromises we are willing to make, to avoid disturbing our peace of mind.”
