The Trojan story retold by Ukraine’s pioneering feminist writer, Lesia Ukrainka.
Presented by Live Canon and the Ukrainian Institute London in an award-winning new translation by Nina Murray.
Cambridge: 20, 21 & 22 March (7.30pm), Round Church
Imagine you could see the future, but no one would believe anything you said. This is Cassandra’s fate. Stuck in besieged Troy and knowing exactly how the war will end, Cassandra sees the destruction unfold around her, just as she knew it would.
First published in 1908, Lesia Ukrainka’s poetic drama retells the story of the Trojan war from Cassandra’s perspective. Today, CASSANDRA continues to speak with uncanny immediacy in the contemporary era of post-truth politics, under the shadow of Russia’s war in Ukraine.
Following the acclaimed premiere in London last autumn, CASSANDRA will tour to Cambridge and Oxford in March 2023, as part of the UK/Ukraine Season of Culture. Presented in Cambridge in association with Cambridge Ukrainian Studies and Cambridge4Ukraine.
The productions in Oxford and Cambridge are presented in association with Cambridge Ukrainian Studies, the Cambridge Society of Ukrainians, Cambridge University Classics department, APGRD, and the Oxford Society of Ukrainians.
CASSANDRA will also be presented in Oxford on 23 & 25 March at North Wall Arts Centre.
