STARKVILLE, Miss.β€”In its 52nd season, 91ΒιΆΉΜμΓΐ’s theatre program will present a translation of Euripides’ Ancient Greek masterpiece β€œThe Trojan Women” on McComas Hall’s mainstage.

Theatre 91ΒιΆΉΜμΓΐ’s students and production team invite all community members to attend performances taking place Wednesday-Friday [Nov. 11-13] at 7:30 p.m. and Sunday [Nov. 15] at 2:30 p.m. Β

Set just after the fall of Troy, β€œThe Trojan Women” is a story of female strength and war. The students will be performing Diane Arnson Svarlien’s new translation.

β€œEuripides asks some really tough questions and doesn’t necessarily answer them. That’s where the brilliance of this piece emergesβ€”it asks the audience to form their own opinions about what they are witnessing,” Stockstill added.
