That Witch Helen by Catie Ridewood

directed by Janette Eddisford

The face that launched a thousand ships finally gets to speak.

Meet Helen, before Troy, in this feminist retelling of the Ancient Greek epic. Witness her divine beginnings (yes, she did hatch from an egg!), her youth as a Spartan warrior, her fateful decision to leave her husband, and finally the decade of brutal war and destruction that follows.

Straight from a sell-out run at Brighton Fringe, this “MUST SEE SHOW” (FringeReview) blends myth, movement, and storytelling to let Helen of Troy tell her own story.
