This article focuses on the theatrical production "The Trojan Women," by Granville Barker. His productions are not for the purpose of edifying the archeologist or providing an object lesson for the student of Greek literature, but of convincing the layman that it is as much worth his while to witness a presentation of a play of Euripides as of the dramatist William Shakespeare. That which is most notable in Barker's achievement is his success in reproducing some of the atmosphere of the Greek theatre and at the same time modifying the manner of the performance so that a modern audience shall not be repelled by its unfamiliarity.
