Crafted in the heat of the momentous year 2020 from language found on the streets of the protest marches, in the hospitals during the COVID lockdown and from the mouths of endangered fish in the sea, Troy Too is a contemporary dialogue with Euripides' The Trojan Women, the apocryphal play of mourning, out-rage and the dignity of lamentation. Greece’s finest classical actress, Lydia Koniordou, brings a modern and ancient Hecuba to life in English and ancient Greek. Greek director Avra Sidiropoulou, known for her innovative multimedia stagings of modern and classical texts, bridges the divide to bring Troy Too formally and shockingly alive in an international production that cuts across languages and cultures. We are still there and there has as yet been no artistic reckoning. Troy Too by Karen Malpede, produced by Athens-based Persona Theatre Company and New York's Theatre Three Collaborative, is an enraged and poignant play of what we have survived, and a poetic elegy for those who did not.
