Description Be transported to 12th century BCE, when gods walked among us, epic battles were fought on the sands of time and no one escaped the hand of violence. A great city will be invaded and the stories of its people screamed inside the great machine of war. Can you hear them?

Written by Tom Wright – renowned for his awe-inspiring adaptations The Odyssey, Oedipus and Women of Troy – and directed by Ian Michael (Picnic at Hanging Rock, Stolen), this is the legend of Troy like you’ve never seen it before. A powerhouse ensemble cast will take to a transformed theatre to deliver the most physically demanding and hauntingly poetic performance of their lives under the eyes of the Trojan horse.

Prepare to be struck with wonder as you experience the theatrical event of the season.
