The Pennyless Players present "Trojan Barbie"

Need a vacation? Why not try ancient Troy?

Follow Lotte, an English tourist and doll repair expert, on a colourful trip to not-so-Wonderland. Yet, amidst old ruins and picturesque street-side cafés the past and present start bleeding into each other and Lotte gets trapped in a prison camp. There she meets mythological heroines: beautiful Helen, whose main concern seems to be securing painkillers, Cassandra who keeps raving on about a certain ominous horse, and Polly X, a wannabe artist with a lot of attitude. Will Lotte find her way out of this tragedy or will the rolling tide of absurdities drag her under?

Christine Evans’ bold and edgy “love poem from the past to your future” proves that war is neither glamorous nor heroic, and the unflinching determination of these Trojan women shows us that it is often the weakest who are the true heroes.
