Troilus & Cressida

This play takes place in an epic world and we sought to find ways to communicate the scale of the ancient world. This was primarily done through movement and gesture work.

Troilus and Cressida was performed with six actors each actor played 3-4 roles! They also served as musicians and set crew.

Director's Note:

Troilus and Cressida forces us to see the ugly parts of humanity: the parts that are war-torn, power-hungry, and without compassion. It also focuses on relationships as something to cling to until it is impossible to hold on any longer. Troilus and Cressida is called an experimental play. At the end of this textual experiment, I find myself asking "What does it cost to live in an epic world with standards as high as the walls of Troy?” For the characters in Troilus and Cressida, it costs everything.

Troilus & Cressida was performed with Meadowlark Shakespeare Players, 2023.
