Carnegie Mellon News - Carnegie Mellon University: Carnegie Mellon University's School of Drama brings a new adaptation of a Greek classic to the Philip Chosky Theater when "Trojan Women: A Love Story" by Charles L. Mee opens at 8 p.m., Thursday, Nov. 13. The performance, directed by Professor Jed Allen Harris, will run through Nov. 22.
I didn't read the script before going to the show but I decided to saw the show on its opening night and after seeing it I tried to come up with the word to explain it but I wasn't sure which one would be appropriate. not scary and not depressing, I don't know, But I think it's a great decision have it be a 90` minute show without intermission, which to me it's perfect to keep the audience concentrate to the show. It's interesting to see the combination of old and new world happening at the same time, or when they mentioned about television, and those weird alphabets on the screen, I don't know if it's something created especially for the show or it's a real alphabet but I think it fits the story,I think it's a good contrast. I know some parts had been cut but I think the story was pretty complete as the whole. I like the set and the costumes a lot especially the Queen and Helen's costumes. As a person who was helping in the days that they were building the costumes I saw how complicated it was to have them all complete on time and I believe it's exactly the same for scenery. I think the production team had done a marvelous job, so cheers to you all!
