The Last Days of Troy

Simon Armitage is rightly celebrated as one of our country's most original and engaging poets, but he is also an adaptor and translator of some of our most important epics, such as 'Sir Gawain and the Green Knight', 'The Death of King Arthur' and Homer's 'Odyssey'. 'The Last Days of Troy' tells the tale of the Trojan War itself in a vivid new dramatic adaptation that coincides with the Royal Exchange's stage performance in April 2014.
