Saw this show tonight and it was absolutely gorgeous - so many talented people were putting their all into it. Well done to everyone, you are a force to be reckoned with.

An amazing perfromance from such a young company. Powerful and moving with committed performances that are the equal of many professional companies!
Amber Churm (Hecuba), Margot Sprague-Davies (Cassandra), Grace Barrington (Andromache) and Ryan Hodgins (Talthybius) deserve special praise for the intensity of their performances throughout the play. Oscar Turner was impressive as Andromache's son. One actor (name unknown) playing a Greek soldier (the one carrying his boots through the water) was one of a couple of impressive singers and musiscians who stood out amongst the male corus as ones to watch for the future.
Well done to all concerned!

I went to see this show on Friday 5th March and I have to say how impressed I was by the acting of the young people. One person I thought stood out was Letitia Wright who i thought to express her emotions and pain very well. The singing and music was excellent. They were all amazing and I look forward to seeing some more of their shows. Well done to them all!!
The women of Troy is a credit to all involved. The professionalism and talent is clearly fruition of hard work and dedication. With some outstanding performances, the play captures you from the beginning, keeps you gripped until the end, and stays with you as you leave. It is dramatic, poignant and beautiful, with every element appealing to all ones senses,and certainly not to be missed. Congratulations to everyone.
