Theatre in the World:
First, the recent Taliban shooting of the young girl who stood up for herself reminded me of Cassandra in the Trojan Women because she was not afraid to speak her mind and express her anger. She would not take the abuse of the Greek men just because they had won the battle, just as this young girl refused to accept the Taliban's domination of her home. http://www.cbsnews.com/8301-202_162-57532473/pakistani-girl-shot-by-taliban-lands-in-u.k/
It also reminded me of the Greeks killing Astyanax because it was a senseless murder, just as this shooting was a senseless murder attempt.
