By Ellen McLaughlin. This modern adaptation of “Helen of Troy” seeks to discover whether one can rewrite their past, especially if that past was an illusion. She exists in an Egyptian hotel for seventeen years waiting for the war to end. Helen has spent every day alone in her hotel room with no visitors except her Egyptian servant. The play takes place on the day when Helen’s waiting finally comes to an end. She is visited by fellow Greek sex symbol, Io; the well known Greek goddess Athena; and finally by the husband she feared she had lost, Menelaus.
