The Last Days of Troy

by Simon Armitage 
directed by Daniel Pirrie

In the final days of the Trojan War, the Greek and Trojan armies are caught in a bitter stalemate. Exhausted and desperate after ten years of warfare, gods and men battle among themselves for glory. Poet Laureate Simon Armitage beautifully captures the tale of Troy to its dire end, evoking a world plagued by envy and deceit; updated to a contemporary war-torn landscape and performed by a cast of fourth and fifth form actors, The Last Days of Troy reinvigorates this epic myth with adventure, passion, and surprising wit.
