Christian Women reimagines the forgotten voices of the early church, women recorded only in fragments of history yet forced to bear the full weight of empire. Drawing inspiration from Euripides' Trojan Women, this play gives shape to those who endured persecution not as saints in glass but as flesh-and-blood figures - fearful, defiant, grieving, and unyielding.
Set against the machinery of Rome, Christian Women asks what it means to hold fast to conviction when silence might mean survival, and how love and loyalty persist even in the face of violence. With stark language and a chorus-like intensity, the play is both an act of witness and a meditation on endurance, belonging as much to our present as to the past.
For readers of literature as well as theater, Christian Women offers a timeless tragedy of faith, resistance, and the human cost of belief.
