HELEN tears apart the legend surrounding mythology’s most alluring figure, Helen of Troy. What if the Trojan War was started by a lie? In this new musical, inspired by Euripides’ HELEN, the world’s greatest beauty has been hidden away by the gods in Egypt, while the notoriously bloody war is fought in her name. Meanwhile, the gods have crafted a perfect phantom duplicate of Helen and shipped her off to Troy with the Trojan Prince. As Troy falls, Helen remains languishing in Egypt, barely avoiding the advances of the self-obsessed Egyptian king. When a prophecy reveals that Helen’s husband, Menelaos, will be shipwrecked in Egypt, Helen must finally take her life back into her own hands.
