Think you know the story of the Wooden Horse of Troy? Think again.
Two miles from Troy, Odysseus dreams. Every night since the war began the exact same dream: Iphigineia Agamemnon's dead daughter offers him a plan for winning the war, a plan cunning enough to outwit even the legendary King Priam. But every night Odysseus turns her down, appalled by the cruelty her plan involves, the price he would have to pay to return home.
But tonight is different. The hero Achilles is dead and with him all hope of military victory. Is Odysseus finally desperate enough to pay her the price? More importantly, is he ready to accept who he's really been talking to all these years?
End Game by Stephen Connolly is a work in progress and will be performed script-in-hand
Contains dark themes and adult language.
