    These ancient places that have such a big place in our own society’s cultural identity, even if just in stories passed down onto us. These places were so small.

    I have been to Troy, just drove past really, it’s just a small place. A city state that used to be on the coast but is now inland. It had only 10,000 people. Their men and children murdered and then the women forced into slavery. ( In modern times this is what happened to the Yazidi women of Syria. Their men and children were murdered and then the women were forced into slavery. )

    A suburb is like living in a town, I can’t help putting myself, my loved ones and my neighbours in the place of these characters. I suppose that’s what makes it a great play.
