Untitled[edit]

I added a link to Brad Mays' stage play production of The Trojan Woman. Smokingmaenad 05:58, 28 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

What is the evidence for the date of 415 for this play?Twospoonfuls (talk) 18:01, 11 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Treatment of the play in modern times[edit]

Greek drama is constantly being re-interpreted, as new productions are researched and staged. I'd like to include links to relevant productions of plays, as theatre is constantly evolving. Thoughts or comments? --Chris Plough (talk) 16:30, 23 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I think so, too. Unfortunately, Adam did not respond when Chris raised this point on his talk page. Instead, Adam seems to have a different view as he removed ten treatments from the article, but kept two. I suggest to re-instate those ten removed treatments. -- Michael Bednarek (talk) 05:01, 22 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

It seems to be a list of any random production of the play, that's why. Should we care about any of them? Adam Bishop (talk) 06:52, 22 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Some of the ten treatments that were removed seem to be at least as notable as the two that were retained. I suggest to re-instate the paragraphs which referred to the following six notable treatments:

Las Troyanas (1963), film by Sergio Véjar;
The Tojan Women (2004), film by Brad Mays;
The Trojan Women 2.0 (1996), play by Charles L. Mee;
The Women of Troy (2007) directed by Katie Mitchell;
The Trojan Women, (2008) directed by Marti Maraden;
The Women of Troy, (2008), adapted and directed by Barrie Kosky.

There's also a very recent rendition of Euripides' Trojan Women by a playwright named Christine Evans called Trojan Barbie. It was performed by the American Repertory Theater in 2009 and the script was published in Theater Forum (Issue 35). It's been making some waves lately.

Translations[edit]

Just thought I'd post here, as I'm uncertain on how to edit the table, but the text by the unknown translator is identical to the first text in the table, and therefore probably should be removed. 129.234.252.66 (talk) 10:22, 24 May 2011 (UTC) Michael, 24/5/11[reply]

Thanks - I've merged the two. Tim Smith (talk) 06:36, 16 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Musical production at King Edward IV College[edit]

Deleted again: the only external sources are from mirrors of an old version of this article. Original edit (thanks, WikiBlame) is here. --Old Moonraker (talk) 07:11, 4 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Use of pictures from ARK Theatre Co production[edit]

I am concerned that within the article are four pictures and each is from the same production. I cannot see how this specific production contributes to our understanding of the play or to the wider history of the play. They may be relevant to the wikipedia page on the ARK Theatre Co, if there is one, but not to The Trojan Women. I think this amounts to the promotion of ARK Theatre, and not to our understanding of The Trojan Women and as a result all or all but one of the pictures should be removed.Bernardrieuxawake (talk) 08:27, 24 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]
