"'Some of the writing is pin-sharp - does away with reverence, rips up the rulebook' - The Telegraph 'This fine new modern-day version by poet Caroline Bird is set in the mother-and-baby unit of a prison. It's an ingenious idea of sparkling sensitivity,' - Evening Standard Caroline Bird's new version has both bleak beauty and sardonic humour.' - The Financial Times"
Inside the prison, the city's captive women await their fate. Stalking the antiseptic confines of its mother and baby unit is Hecuba, the fallen Trojan queen. But her grief at what has been before will soon be drowned out by the horror of what is to come, as the Greek lust for vengeance consumes everything - man, woman and baby - in its path."
