About the show

In 2017, Kimberley Sykes brought Marlowe's first play to the Swan Theatre, the rarely told story of the intensity of human passion and a woman of strength and brilliance who refused to be silenced. Fleeing a war-torn Troy, Aeneas is a refugee seeking new roots and a new identity in Europe. Queen Dido is ready to help him when meddling gods intervene and turn help into an all-consuming love. Do they follow their hearts or fulfil their political destinies?
