Classics at The Bloomsbury
The Bloomsbury Theatre's education department hosts a series of workshops and lectures based on Euripides' The Trojan Women. As the National Theatre revived the play last year we ask the question 'Why now?' A series of practical workshop sessions and lectures on the play led by experienced practitioners reveal how Euripides's concerns are as relevant now as they were 2,000 years ago.
In conjunction with the University of London Greek Theatre Festival
