An Evening with The Trojan Women

Rebecca bought Seasons Tickets for the productions of the UVic Drama Department this year.

Duncan, Rebecca and I went to see Eurpides' The Trojan Women tonight.

One hundred minutes, no intermission.

The Times Colonist reviewed the show saying

“...Euripides explores such themes as duty and integrity in the face of the aftermath of war... the notion of setting Trojan Women in present day is a good one ([Director Jan] Wood notes the problem of displaced war victims is as relevant as ever)...”

So ... when it was over we tried to think of a place where we could go and chat about it.  Afterall, this is a play that Rebecca was in, herself, when she went to university.  And in fact, I can remember exactly where I was sitting in the theatre the night I watched it.

The best place for us to go seemed to be home.  Alex had just made some brownies when we left.  We could smell them, but they hadn't come out of the oven yet.

I love it when home seems like the best place to go.
