THREE POLITICALLY HOMELESS EXILES gather at a sanctuary after Athens' democracy falls. One is in shock. One thirsts for vengeance. A vulnerable third woman brings her shaky heart. What future can these three political refugees mother-forth?
This play, written in iambic pentameter, reimagines Seamus Heaney's famous drama,
The Cure at Troy, with an all-female cast at a pivotal point in the life of a crumbling democracy. Its central question: What is hope?
Listen, sisters. In defeat, at night-
Listen for waves of hope lapping upon
The darkened shore....
-Allegra Jordan,
String the Bow
