for those of you playing along at home

The text of Troades is an adaptation, and I can't get you copies of the script. But you can read Trojan Women by Eurpides if you want to get the arc of the story. Our show runs pretty true to the original; the largest change is that the chorus has more lines and more individuality. And the gods don't get to speak. If you read the original (& can get through the long-ass monologues -- part of the reason for the rewrite) then some of my comments on the show might make more sense. There's a fairly crappy but easily accessible version here. If you're really interested, find a good translation at the library.
