The Department of Performing Arts at Elon University will present “The Trojan Women” by Euripides Thursday, April 20-Sunday, April 23 in McCrary Theatre, located in the Center for the Arts on the Elon University campus. Show times are 7:30 p.m., Thursday-Saturday and 2 p.m. on Sunday.
“The Trojan Women” is as relevant today as when it was written in 415 B.C. The play follows the terrifying plight of the women of Troy after the destruction of their city at the conclusion of the Trojan War. Their suffering, along with the ultimate, ironic fate of the conquering army, provides apt warnings for today’s society. The production is translated by Nicholas Rudall and directed by Fredrick J. Rubeck.
Tickets for each performance are $12 or free for those with valid Elon identification. Tickets may be purchased at the McCrary Theatre box office at (336) 278-5610. The box office is open from 12:30 p.m.-5 p.m., Monday-Friday.
