Synopsis

Euripides' classic tragedy in a full cast audio production. After Troy fell to the Greeks, Andromache, the wife of the slain Trojan king Hector, was taken as prize and given to Achilles' son Neoptolemus as his concubine. He treated her kindly, and in the fullness of time she bore him a son. But Neoptolemus went on to take as his wife Hermione, the daughter of Menelaus, but she could bear him no children. Enraged with jealousy, Hermione plots the death of Andromache, and the play opens with Andromache taking sanctuary at the temple of Thetis, the goddess who is also Achilles' mother - Achilles, the man who killed her husband.

The Little Prince is beautiful, but BLEAK. And when I did some research, I found out that de Saint-Exupéry’s life was no picnic, and it came to imitate his art in the most heartbreaking way. Suffice to say here, there’s a LOT more to this story than quaint aphorisms. My review of The Little Prince ap......more
