Cutting Ball opens the Hidden Classics Reading Series with Greek playwright Euripides’ rarely performed play ANDROMACHE. Long after the Trojan War ends, Hector’s dutiful wife Andromache finds herself in Sparta as the concubine of Achilles’ son Neoptolemus. When Neoptolemus’s wife, daughter of Helen of Troy, learns that Andromache has a son with her husband, she vows revenge.
