Penthesilea at LOFT Ensemble

Stage Raw - Somewhat Recommended

"...The Trojan War has been raging on for ten years, but the Daughters of Artemis are just hearing about it. This community of women, also known as the Horde, live peacefully even as they train fiercely to uphold their status as a formidable band of warriors. But once they hear of the war surging not far away from their secluded land, they decide to beat the Greeks to the punch and join the fray. First, they need to select a warrior queen to lead them into battle. At Loft Ensemble, Danielle Ozymandias' new play Penthesilea (directed by Ozymandias and Bree Pavey) is an imaginative twist on an oft-forgotten myth but it ultimately lacks cohesion."
