After the Trojan Women

A chorus of women across cultures, identities, and generations gather in a threshold where time collapses, where worlds collide, where women stand.

Thrilling, heartbreaking, and inspiring, After the Trojan Women will sweep you across millennia and cultures of women in times of war and perseverance.
