More About the Event
The play is a bold, feminist retelling of the Trojan War through the eyes of Cassandra, who persists in fighting for the truth when no one will believe her. The play has astounding relevance at this time of war. We can’t wait to bring people together in celebration of Ukraine’s unique culture, currently under attack by Russia.
