Michelle Dockery (Downton Abbey) returns to the stage as Helen of Troy opposite Laura Aikman (Gavin & Stacey), who makes her stage debut as Cee. Years after she walked out on her family, Helen returns home from a war fought in her name for one fragile first night of peacetime, as old wounds reopen and loyalties fracture. A play about friendship, motherhood and the true cost of a woman’s choice to leave her life. Age guidance 14+.
