Tadashi Suzuki's Drama The Trojan Women

The story of The Trojan Women is set just after the end of the Trojan War in Homer's epic.

The decade-long war is waged because Trojan Prince Paris follows the instructions of Aphrodite and seizes the most beautiful Greek woman, Spartan Princess Helen.

Led by Agamemnon (King of Mycenae), kings and generals of various Greek states send troops to march toward Troy. Both parties are evenly matched. In the 10th year of the bitter war, Hector (Trojan general and also son of the king) is killed by the Greek general Achilles. Before long, Achilles also dies in the battle. The Greek army invades Troy at last after making use of the Trojan horse trick, and wins the war.

The show is directed Tadashi Suzuki, founder of Japan's Suzuki Company of Toga.
