"THE WOMEN STANDING BESIDE YOU POSSESS A BRAVERY THE WORLD HAS NEVER SEEN."

Everyone knows the story of the Trojan War: Trojan boy elopes with married Greek girl; angry husband tracks the lovers to the boy's hometown; 10 years of siege warfare later, the angry husband and his posse reduce Troy to rubble. But did it have to end that way? In Ransacking Troy, playwright Erin Shields imagines a less testosterone-fuelled conclusion, in which the women of Greece-tired of waiting for their husbands to return from war-stage an intervention of historical proportions.
