Description Greek tragedy meets ballroom culture in this fierce and fabulous new play, adapted from Euripides’ The Trojan Women and inspired by the seminal documentary Paris is Burning.

House mother Hecuba has dedicated her life to protecting her children and the chosen family they all cling to for comfort and support. But when a mysterious plague begins to rip through their community, they are forced to engage with a society that doesn’t understand or even value their existence…

And She Would Stand Like This is a modern observation of HIV/AIDS and reimagines the Greek characters as Queer bodies of colour fighting for survival.
