Trojans
4M (flexible gender casting possible) // Full Length
In the ninth year of the Trojan war, Linus and Otis struggle to maintain a semblance of purpose in their lives in the aftermath of their embarrassing exile for cowardice. When they awake one morning to find that the Greeks have seemingly retreated, leaving behind a gigantic, wooden horse, the two hope this is their chance to prove to their king, their country, and each other that they can be heroes.
