A Brief History of Helen of Troy
Life isn’t great for 15 year old Charlotte. Having lost her beautiful and much-admired mother, what was left of the relationship she has with her father only gets worse as she gets entangled in the teenage world of image, ambition and blow jobs. Advice from her (few) friends and guidance counselor doesn’t seem to help much; can it really just be as easy as ‘read the label and apply’? Inspired by Euripides but firmly rooted in MTV generation America, ‘A Brief History of Helen of Troy’ is a bitingly funny yet startlingly poignant dissection of image capitalism and, whilst it re-examines our notions of contemporary America, it resonates with anyone who longed for a better figure, had sex to be liked, been a teenager, or any of the above.
Presented by 3Bugs Fringe Theatre from the University of Birmingham Guild of Students, directed by Daniel Marchese Robinson and Jenny Scott, and featuring live music from Frankie Ward, it promises to shock and entertain in true 3BUGS style. It might even make you think a bit too.
