TROILUS AND CRESSIDA
Directed by Joe Clark
"The Bard's problematic and quite satirical portrayal of the Trojan War and its 'heroes'"
All Shakespeare in the park performances are FREE to attend.
We recommend bringing a blanket or folding chair for more comfortable seating.
PERFORMANCES:
October 3rd-5th and 8th-11th at 7pm
SYNOPSIS:
Trojan prince Troilus falls in love with Cressida, as war rages around them. After vowing to be faithful, Cressida is traded to the Greek camp, where she then agrees to see another man. Troilus witnesses Cressida's unfaithfulness and vows to put more effort into the war. The play ends after further deaths on both sides, and with no resolution in sight.
TLDR SYNOPISIS:
Troilus loves Cressida, but she betrays him; Achilles loves Patroclus, but he is killed; the Trojan War goes on; no one is happy.
