UNISON: p107, "The war is over! Come, Bring in the wooden horse for an offering to the Lady of Troy!"; p112, the only chorus part on the page; p115, the only chorus part on the page; p130, "Farewell, dead by the curse of heaven!"; p132, the last two chorus interjections on the page; p133, last four lines of the play
Jen: p107, next four lines ("Then...down."); p121, only Chorus part on that page; p126, last four chorus lines before Talth. speaks; p133, first chorus part on the page
Alisa: p107, till the end of the page, with these changes: "To honor Athena and offer..."; p123, first two lines of the only chorus segment on that page; p129, the only chorus lines on that page; p133 , "Soon you will fall, and lie with the earth you loved, and none shall name you!"
Kelly: p108, first four lines, with these changes: "And up the hill to the Temple, where the slaughter of Troy began."; p123, the last two chorus lines on that page; p130 first two chorus lines on that page; p133, "Earth and her name are nothing; All has vanished, and Troy is nothing!"
Hans: p108, "I was at home that night, joining in songs and dances, when-over the streets of the central city a shriek of death rose up like a grip at the throat."; p124, "So, Zeus, our god, you have foresaken us; Given to Troy's enemies temple and ritual."; p130, "Beat the breast and bruise the head, let the hand be merciless!"
Desiree: p108, last three lines of that section; p125, "At Troy's gates our children cling and cry by hundreds, calling, wailing, 'Mother, they are taking me from you! See their dark ships, oars and rowers ready!"; p130, "Take courage, Hecabe, speak; what will you say to us?"
Lauren: p108, "Men sank in blood" through "watered with tears of Troy's despair."; p125, last two lines on page, through first three lines on p126; p131, first four lines on the page
Hayley: p108, "Hecabe, see!" through "is with her."; p126, "Lost in weeping" through "And the Brazen Temple."; p131, "Look!" through "What is to happen now?"
BIG delete: all chorus section from pp116-118 before Menelaus' entrance. There are smaller chorus deletes throughout that should be easy to spot if you go through the text with the above info in mind.
Don't forget that Ilion = Troy and most other names = Greek/Greece (e.g. Argive, Hellas).

Here are Desiree's lines:
Page 94
Hecabe:
Desiree: We heard your voice, Hecabe; why did you call?
What did you say? As we sat there indoors
Thinking of slavery with bitter tears,
Your cry of agony came to us, and we all
Shuddered with nameless fears.
Hecabe:
Page 101
Cassandra:
Desiree: Queen Hecabe, she is out of her mind. Oh can you not
Control her? - or she’ll go dancing down the Greek camp!

Desiree: And trembling children clutched at their mothers’ skirts;
And war went firth from his secret lair;
And the work of the virgin Athena was accomplished.

Page 125
Chorus: Hanns:
Desiree: At Troy’s gates our children
Cling and cry by hundreds,
Calling, wailing, ‘Mother they are taking me
From you! See their dark ships,
Oars and rowers ready!
