trojan women 2002

Trojan Women 2002 adapted and directed by David Stuttard after Euripides. Movement direction by Tamsin Shasha. Outside eye Marcello Magni. Voicework by Susan Stern

David Stuttard’s clear eyed version…. is admirably direct and accessible, as is his beautifully acted production; it keeps the emotion bottled up so well that when it does fizz out in an explosion of fury, agony and spit, it is all the more frightening. Lyn Gardner, The Guardian

I was rapt…translator and director David Stuttard has pared down Euripides’ original to its essence, creating an intensely compact vision of man’s inhumanity…a compelling production. Jersey Evening Post

A fine production well worth seeing Morning Star

There are in the theatre those rare occasions when the art is so good, the truths so profound, that the scalp freezes, the hair stands on end and one is incapable of applause..to that short list of excellence I can now add aod ‘s touring production of Trojan Women. This was a truly wonderful production. Hexham Courant

This fine production gives voice to a cry so perfectly pitched that it sounds through the mayhem of the millenia, calling humanity back to its better instincts. Irish Times

aod‘s gripping, accessible production bangs home the relevance of Euripides’ anti-war play..director David Stuttard’s adaptation catches the poignancy of the original language. The Stage
