About the play: Troy has fallen. It’s the end of war and the beginning of something else. Something worse. As the cries die down after the final battle, there are reckonings to be made. Humiliated by her defeat and imprisoned by the charismatic victor Agamemnon, the great queen Hecuba must wash the blood of her buried sons from her hands and lead her daughters forward into a world they no longer recognize.
Hecuba by Marina Carr was shot as a film during the covid lockdown on the campus of UMN. Actors and crew were required to wear masks at all times and could not touch one another or be closer than 6’ from another person. The film DOP was Jim Peitzman, editor was Caitlin Hammil and it had a premiere showing at the Riverview Theatre in Minneapolis.
