The Trojan Women – Barnard Theatre Department

- The Barnard Theatre Department presents its first show of the year, Euripedes’ The Trojan Women, with a translation by Paul Roche and direction by Tea Alagić. The play follows the suffering, enslavement, and grief of the women of Troy in the aftermath of the Trojan War. Alagić’s staging sets the play in the modern day, intentionally “draw[ing] a direct line between ancient suffering and the current refugee crisis… [as] both the Trojans and modern refugees are victimized by forces far beyond their control (war, geopolitical conflict, systemic violence).” Tickets are required and can be reserved here.
- Friday, October 17, 7:30 pm, and Saturday, October 18, 1 pm and 7:30 pm, Glicker-Milstein Theater (Diana Lower Level 2)
- KCST (King’s Crown Shakespeare Troupe) presents Molière’s 1664 play Tartuffe, a “fast-paced, witty comedy… [with] a backbone of incisive social satire.” This production “fus[es] times and places together into a maximalist, anachronistic dreamscape…set to the rhythms of Bach and EDM.” Tickets are free and can be reserved here.
