Sea Wall

Things for Alex are good. He loves his wife, his daughter, his city, his job. But sometimes the force of life can crash against you. Sometimes everything you thought you could always depend on can be taken away.

This is a play about what's probably the REAL reason for the Trojan War. Troy – right at the mouth of the narrow channel linking the two seas. A strategic location - if the Trojans chose, they could choke off that commerce, and damage Greek prosperity and well-being.

So the city needed to be eliminated – but Troy was actually part of the powerful Hittite empire, in what's now Turkey, so the Mycenaean Greeks needed an excuse for their attack, to protect themselves from Hittite reprisals (and to bind the Greeks in a common purpose) They set up Helen as a 'honey-trap', to seduce a Trojan Prince and allow herself to be carried off to Troy – creating a valid reason for the war.

A true Woman of Mass Deception – W.M.D. - but nothing really changes in politics, and three and a half thousand years later we saw those mythical 'Weapons of Mass Destruction' used as an excuse to start another war
