ABOUT THIS PRODUCTION:

In Troiilus and Cressida, Shakespeare depicts the Trojan War as a mess from which no one emerges with glory or integrity. Not only is the battle futile, but sex and war combine to seal characters' fates in unpredictable ways. In the words of Sir Peter Hall, the director of this production, this great play is "unblinkingly unsentimental about the horrors of war and the inequalities of love."

Sir Peter Hall founded the Royal Shakespeare Company and later led the Royal National Theatre. In addition to staging Shakespeare, he also directed the world premiere in English of Samuel Beckett's Waiting for Godot, the world premiere of Peter Shaffer's Amadeus and the premieres of most of Harold Pinter's plays. His acclaimed staging of Tantalus, a modern treatment of the Trojan War by John Barton, originated at the Denver Center for the Arts this season.


Shakespeare's "Troilus and Cressida"


Directed by Sir Peter Hall

"Troilus and Cressida has an unconventional form, neither comedy, tragedy, history, nor satire...its savagery and disillusion speak forcefully to contemporary audiences naturally skeptical about ideas of honor, nobility and military glory."
- Anne Barton, Shakespeare scholar
