Queens of Syria - Life as a refugee

What is Queens of Syria?

The Syrian crisis is now in its fifth year and the violence that has forced so many to leave their homes shows no sign of abating.

Queens of Syria is the story of fifty women refugees now living in Jordan who came together to create and perform their own version of The Trojan Women, the timeless Greek tragedy about the plight of women in war.

Queens of Syria teaching resource

In 2016 the Queens of Syria cast and crew will travel to the UK for a series of performances.

To mark this occasion, the British Council have developed an education pack to provide teachers with resources that will help them explore the human impact of the conflict in Syria and the realities of life as a refugee.
