The Hysterical History of Troy

08 March 2016

“This is the war that never ends. Some people started fighting it, not knowing what it was, and they'll continue fighting it forever just because..." 

Ancient history will get a hilarious new twist when the Academy's Theatre Club brings The Hysterical History of Troy to the amphitheatre.

D. M. Larson's comedy gets creative with chronology as we see the Trojan War get sparked by bored housewife Helen. She's tired of her life in Sparta and leaves her husband to run away to Troy with her new boyfriend Paris.

Battles are fought, gods get involved, dance numbers are staged. All your favorite classical Greek characters come alive in this comedy about the epic Trojan War. And yes, there will be a horse. 

The play is a hilarious retelling of the Trojan War, featuring wacky Greek gods with mobile phones and the blind drummer Homer and his homies narrating the events before and during the war. 

A modern twist to an old setting. You will surely need to choose which side you are on through the play as the Trojans and the Spartans will want your support and your war cry during the play.
