Witness an intimate retelling of the brilliant Kassandra, Trojan priestess blessed and cursed with the gift of prophecy. After surviving the fall of Troy, she finds herself captive on the Greek island of Paros with the victorious King Agamemnon. As the secrets of his past begin to surface, she is forced to confront the truth behind his haunted mind and the terrible sacrifice that has made his journey to Troy and subsequent victory possible.

For this particular project, we need enthusiastic and expressive readers so if this applies to you, please do apply!
