Synopsis
In The Husbands, Logue trains his lyrical eye upon Homer's ultimate femme fatale, Helen of Troy, and her ardently mortal husbands, Menelaus and Paris.
Carrying the Homeric world into our own, Logue's language is at once musical, profoundly tender, and frighteningly graphic. With cinematic speed, disarming confidence, and lyrical care, Logue gives us a reading of classic literature that makes unquestionably clear its relevance to our own time.

Reviews
If Homer composed the Iliad for ancient oral performance, Logue, the noted British poet, actor, and screenwriter, has adapted it for modern cinematic performance. The Husbands joins War Music (Farrar, 1987) and Kings (Farrar, 1991) as companions to Logue's poetic retelling of the Iliad. Focusing on the figure of Helen, who has two husbands in Paris and Menelaus, Logue's treatment is not literal, drawing on material from other parts of the Iliad and the Odyssey. In addition, he invents scenes and uses modern diction with contemporary references. Nevertheless, Logue's version is vigorous and vivid, an original and satisfying dramatic poem based on the Homeric material. For informed readers.
