Troilus & 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 & 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 & Cressida, it costs everything.

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