This weekend marks the closing performances for this year's Powerhouse Season at Vassar College - with international artist Drita Kabashi in a solo performance of A Trojan Woman by Sara Farrington and directed by Meghan Finn.
Bosnia, Gaza, Mariupol — a woman with her child, alone in a devastated city, confronts the indiscriminate cruelty of war. Euripides’ The Trojan Women was the original anti-war play, first performed in Athens in 415 BCE as a searing protest against the Peloponnesian War.
Now, in a taut, solo, contemporary adaptation first performed in Athens, Greece, A Trojan Woman brings this ancient cry of anguish into the present.
The Performance is directed by award-winning Artistic Director Meghan Finn and starring Drita Kabashi. We also welcome Michael Sheehan - Producing Director for the Powerhouse Theater for a season report.
