Hecuba is a play about how we tell stories—who controls the narrative and who gets to claim authority. Mythic versions of the Trojan War usually focus on the immense strength of the Greeks or on the fallen glory of Troy. Rarely in these myths do we hear the voices of individuals, and even more rarely do those voices come from women. Marina Carr’s deeply violent version of the story creates space for the voices we haven’t heard, but simultaneously complicates what it means to hear those voices. The play’s unique narrative structure—in which characters speak for, with, and often against each other—complicates the notion that there can ever be a “true” version of this story.
