2:30: Disbelief, a Cassandra Tale the world premiere reading is part of 2020 TRU Voices New Plays Reading Series. Disbelief is the story of Apollo’s gift to Cassandra, rethought for today, from her point of view.  This updated telling adds a contemporary perspective on how women are perceived and controlled and disbelieved (or dismissed). Scintillating language explores the parallels of belief in a higher power, with belief in a powerful man, versus a woman of power, struggling to be believed.  And for the first time the two most famous women of the Trojan War, Helen of Troy and Cassandra, actually  speak to each other, without a man around at all.  The play draws a gentle parallel to our 2016 election, and a candidate who told the truth, was systematically undermined and disbelieved.
