Winner of the 2015 “Write your own Myth”
Competition by “The Greek Play Project”
Helen of Troy, or Beautiful Helen, as she is known in Greece, has been dragged back to Greece and is now a housewife. Shifting from antiquity to modern Greece, Helen imagines her life as Soula, a hairdresser from a small mountain village in Olympus. Combining humor with the Tragic, “Helen or Soula” is a unique take on one of the most hated figures of ancient times.
