Cassandra [Large Print]

By Rose Goodbody

CASSANDRA paces for a little while,

her tenuous connection with reality wavering.

Could she have convinced CLYTEMNESTRA not to kill her,

if she'd said the right words?

If she did, would that have spared AGAMEMNON?

How would she have felt if that was so?

Cassandra, a Trojan princess, has been taken captive by the king who destroyed her home to live as his new consort. But the god Apollo has other plans, Cassandra can see them coming, and worst of all? No one will listen.

Goodbody's debut play reworks Aeschylus' Agamemnon to give voice to a woman abused by gods and men. Weaving the writer's personal experience with sexual assault and abusive relationships into an ancient tale, the play takes us on an intimate journey as Cassandra struggles to tell her story before it's too late.
