Andromache: A Play in Three Acts

Set against the rugged coast of Phthia, shortly after Troy’s fall, this three‑act drama opens with a tense encounter between exiled heroes and the remnants of a shattered world. Orestes, haunted by his past deeds, and his loyal friend Pylades arrive on a storm‑tossed shore, their conversation revealing deep wounds and uneasy alliances. The presence of Pyrrhus, son of Achilles, and his captive wife Andromache—once the beloved of Hector—adds a potent mix of power, loss, and fragile hope.

The play explores how mythic figures grapple with honor, vengeance, and the burden of survival in a landscape where divine shrines stand beside the harsh realities of war. Through sharp dialogue and vivid staging, it invites listeners to witness the clash of old heroic codes with the emerging uncertainties of a new age. The opening scenes lay a foundation of intrigue, promising a richly textured exploration of love, loyalty, and the cost of conquest.
