A retelling of Jean Racine · 1668
Andromache
“After the fall of Troy, Hector's widow Andromache is the captive of Pyrrhus, son of Achilles, king of Epirus. Pyrrhus loves her and neglects his promised bride Hermione; Orestes, who loves Hermione, comes as the Greeks' ambassador to demand Hector's little son. Each loves one who loves another, and the chain of passion ends at the altar in murder, death and madness.”
