See 'The Trojan Women' at Oakton
Euripides' classic play, The Trojan Women, will be presented Oct. 19 - 22, and Oct. 26 - 29, on the main stage of the Performing Arts Center at Oakton Community College, 1600 E. Golf Road, Des Plaines.
The Trojan Women details the fate of the women of Troy, who are forced into slavery by Greek warriors during the Peloponnesian War. Presented here in a new translation by Nicholas Rudall, founder of Chicago's Court Theater, the play is considered one of the earliest examples of anti-war literature, showing both compassion for war's victims, and contempt for its victors.
Performances are 8 p.m., Fridays, Oct. 20 and 27; 8 p.m., Saturdays, Oct. 21 and 28; 2 p.m., Sundays, Oct. 22 and 29; and 8 p.m., Thursday, Oct. 26. Tickets are $12; $10 for students and seniors; and $8 for groups of 15 or more.
A $5 preview performance will be staged at 8 p.m., Thursday, Oct. 19 and a post-show discussion will be held after the Sunday, Oct. 29 performance.
To reserve tickets, call the Oakton Box Office at 847-635-1900.
