Behind the myth of every strong woman, is a true story that gave her no choice. Meet the women of Greek tragedy as the real people they might have been
Written by Ellen McLaughlin
Directed by Nicole Palomba
The more things change, the more they seem to stay the same. From Helen of Troy to Cleopatra to Medusa to our grandmothers, we seem to think we know women, and yet culturally we still have no clue. In this minimalist and poetic retelling of the women-by the women- of the house of Atreus, we have a chance to see these myths rise as humans. People with wants, needs, fears, and feelings who have been pushed to the side of mythology for centuries as women have been pushed to the sides of culture. We want you to meet them here, so you can see them everywhere.
