Through a series of workshops, we developed the script and media design for this play, letting one inform the other to create a truly synthesized final product. DYING LIKE GODS is set post-Trojan war, and follows the lengths one Trojan noblewoman will go to enact revenge on a Greek royal family.

Dunlop began working the The Iliad in 2017, and began developing this story in 2020. During her process she has conducted extensive research on Bronze Age Greece, and for the purposes of this project she interviewed Professor Stephen Wittick of CMU’s English Department and interviewed Associate Professor Joshua Schwartz of CMU’s Institute for Strategy and Technology, for further insight on the development of the role of military technology in DYING LIKE GODS.
