Description:
In the ancient city of Argos, a chorus of young women, the Suppliant Maidens, flee their homeland seeking refuge from a forced marriage. They plead with the Argive king, Pelasgus, to protect them from their pursuers, the Egyptians. As tensions rise and loyalties are tested, the Suppliant Maidens must confront their own desires and the complexities of justice and freedom. Aeschylus's powerful tragedy explores themes of exile, identity, and the struggle for human rights, offering a timeless meditation on the plight of those seeking sanctuary.
