Rhesus
by Euripides, adapted into English verse by Brian Vinero

Under the cover of darkness, the Trojan War shifts from the battlefield to the shadows as the legendary Thracian King Rhesus arrives to break the Greek siege.

While Hector pins his hopes on this new ally and his mythical white horses, the cunning Odysseus and fierce Diomedes slip into the camp on a deadly midnight mission.

Guided by the goddess Athena, the Greek spies turn a night of promised salvation into a cold-blooded massacre.

In this atmospheric tragedy, the line between heroism and assassination blurs, proving that the most dangerous enemies are the ones who strike while the world sleeps.
