Troilus and Cressida at The Shakespeare Tavern Playhouse

In Troilus and Cressida  Shakespeare puts his own wickedly ironic spin on the classic tale of Helen of Troy and the "epic" battles fought over her.  The Trojan Prince Troilus and his secret love Cressida are separated by the opposing forces without regard to their relationship. Full of drama and satire, Shakespeare turns one of literature's oldest stories on its head and exposes the toxic masculinity inherent in war and the ways women get trapped in it.
