What happens to a girl defiled?
Does she close up
like an iris in the sun?
Or rage like a war-
Until won?
Does she fear everyone she meets?
Or live and start over-
Like a cat in the streets?
Maybe she just croaks
like a hungry toad.
Or does no one know?
Naomi Lorrain, the same playwright who brought you The Odyssey: Everyone’s Seeking Something in last year’s The Season 2017, is back with a new take on Euripides’ Greek tragedy The Trojan Women. Follow the curious narrators, Anon and Nona, once again as they explore power, gender and politics in a staged reading of her latest work, A Trojan Woman’s Tale.
*Poem written by Naomi Lorrain based on “Harlem (A Dream Deferred)” by Langston Hughes.
