Premier production, in a new translation, surprises and delights with its intriguing take on an ancient tale.
In Euripides’ Helen, the most beautiful woman in the
world never abandoned her husband Menelaus for the Trojan prince,
Paris. Instead, the gods made Paris a phantom Helen from a cloud, and
dropped off the real Helen in Egypt for safe-keeping during the Trojan
War. Seventeen years later, Menelaus lands shipwrecked in Egypt with
his reclaimed phantom bride. How will Helen persuade him that she is
the real Helen? Can she escape marrying the Egyptian king and prevent
him from killing Menelaus? Can her cunning win them a ship home to
Greece? Is this a tragedy or a comedy?
