Synopsis:
Everyone knows the story of Helen of Troy, wife of Menelaus, mistress of Paris, whose face launched 1,000 ships. But what if Helen never actually made it to Troy? 'That story is not true. You never sailed in the benched ships. You never went to the city of Troy,' wrote the 6th century poet Stesichorus. Instead, he proposes, she remained pure and safe in Egypt while her phantom, or eidolon, went on to Troy. What is the story of that Helen, the one who could only watch from the sidelines as cities were burned and epics sung? Inspired by such questions, Euripides's tragedy Helen is presented with this alternate, Egypt-bound version

Synopsis:
Years ago, the Greeks told stories of war: the murders, the fathers who sacrificed, the sons who avenged deaths, and the women who waited for them. Iphigenia and Other Daughters is Ellen McLaughlin's fascinating retelling of these stories. With biting and lyrical dialogue, set in a timeless, war-torn home, this play violently and tenderly explores these women: the daughters sacrificed, the mothers left childless, and the others left pondering their places in a man's world of war, a world destined to become his story
