A FACE – Edinburgh Fringe

Monday 10th - Saturday 15th August 2026

Helen of Troy inspired desire, destruction and death…didn’t she? Or was she simply the face of it all? An infamous beauty seducing others, or seduced herself? A girl awaiting the life expected of her, or a woman taking control of her future? A FACE is a play that rebrands the ruination of Troy, interrogating Helen’s agency and responsibility as a woman making choices in a world built by, and for, men. Priceless to those around her – materially, politically and sexually – but forgotten as an individual, a human being, until she is nothing more than A FACE.

Venue: the Space On the Mile 1, Radisson Hotel, 80 High St, Edinburgh, EH1 1TH
