Description - The Suppliant Women by Aeschylus
'An epic, feminist protest song' Guardian
'This stunning poetic tidal wave is tailor-made for a 21st century audience' The Irish Times
"IF WE HELP, WE INVITE TROUBLE. IF WE DON'T, WE BRING SHAME."
Fifty women leave everything behind to board a boat in North Africa and flee across the Mediterranean. They are escaping forced marriage, hoping for protection and assistance, seeking asylum in Greece.
Written 2,500 years ago, one of the world's oldest plays speaks to us through the ages with startling resonance for our troubled times.
