Translated and adapted by Timberlake Wertenbaker. Olympia Dukakis stars in the radio premiere of an elegant and fierce rendering of the classical theatre's most powerful tragedy of woman. Having watched the rape and pillage of Troy,
Hecuba learns that she must sacrifice her daughter to the spirit of Achilles and that her youngest son has been murdered by the man who was meant to protect him. Her revenge is a terrible one.
Music composed and realised by Orlando Gough Director Ned Chaillet
