Set against the backdrop of the Trojan Wars aftermath, this poignant tragedy, first performed in 1667, weaves a more complex narrative than is typical of Racines works. It explores an array of rich characters and motives, delving into themes of love, jealousy, friendship, loyalty, maternal devotion, anger, and despair with remarkable finesse. While the dialogue reflects the refined language of the 17th-century French Court, the universal emotions of the human heart shine through the veil of conventionality, making the play relatable across the ages.Copyright Plays and Dramas Art Drama & Plays Entertainment & Performing Arts
