The Trojan War

Following the success of Don Juan and Jekyll & Hyde, award-winning NZ production company, A Slightly Isolated Dog, brings you their flirtatiously fun comedy: The Trojan War! This explosive and hilarious work uses a cast of faux-French performers to create a joyful, interactive celebration. Theatrical magic, wicked pop songs and fierce wit are combined to create a delightful romp through this classic twisted tale. When Paris is born, it is prophesied that he will bring the destruction of the city. To avoid this fate, he is sent away to be sacrificed. But this starts a series of events that will inevitably lead to the destiny his parents were so desperately trying to avoid. The Trojan War tells the story of the tragic fall of Troy. It’s a raucous celebration of our ridiculous lives: using this classic tale of gods and heroes to playfully explore questions around the current chaos of our times.
