Description

Euripides' Andromache offers a fresh perspective on tragic character and structure. This play transforms our expectations by subtly varying its metrics to develop an increasingly complex plot, culminating in a surprising blend of realism and supernaturalism. Set in the aftermath of the Trojan War, Andromache tells the story of Andromache, a concubine to Achilles' son Neoptolemus, who is haunted by memories of her former life and love for Hector. As tensions rise between Andromache and Neoptolemus' young wife Hermione, the play's conflict is mirrored in the struggle between Peleus and Menelaus. A new translation that goes beyond literal meaning, this edition includes a critical introduction, commentary, full stage directions, and a glossary of mythical and geographical references.
