UCL Bloomsbury Theatre's Education Department hosts a series of workshops and lectures based on Euripides' The Trojan Women
As The National Theatre revive the play this 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’ concerns are as relevant now as they were 2,000 years ago.
