HELEN by Euripides Translated by Marianne McDonald and J Michael Walton
The Trojan War has ended, peace has finally prevailed and the “most beautiful woman in the world” Helen of Troy is alone in Egypt.
Euripides deflates one of the best known “facts” of Greek mythology that Helen ran off adulterously with Paris to Troy. One of the most tantalizing tales ever told, “Helen” unmasks the myths behind the legend reuniting her with her long-lost husband and putting her life in peril as she remains the Pharaoh’s prisoner. “The face that launched a thousand ships” has never been more illuminating and alive. Directed by Douglas Lay.
