Andromaque

The endless Trojan War ended in shame. After this horrible massacre, even the return of the heroes ends in disaster.
The dilemma faces the new generation, sons and daughters of legendary heroes: follow in the footsteps of their elders by sinking into vengeful violence or turn away from past mistakes to move forward.
Pyrrhus, king of Epirus, loves Andromache, widow of Hector, whom he holds captive with her son, Astyanax. Love and duty collide with the arrival of Orestes, ambassador of the Greeks who claim the head of Astyanax, while he desires the hand of Hermione, fiancée of Pyrrhus. The madness of feelings will then determine the sequence of events: which of love or death will win?
