Script Summary:
Background/Summary:  In The Trojan Horse: A Sneaky Win, the Greeks, tired of a long war with Troy, devise a clever plan. Odysseus builds a giant wooden horse, hides soldiers inside, and presents it to the Trojans as a peace offering. Despite warnings from the prophetess Cassandra, the Trojans bring the horse into their city, believing they've won. That night, the Greeks emerge, open the gates, and invade Troy, leading to its downfall. The play showcases the power of strategy and the consequences of ignoring warnings, all with a modern Gen Z twist.
