TROILUS AND CRESSIDA by WILLIAM SHAKESPEARE
LOST THEATRE COMPANY presents TROILUS AND CRESSIDA
Directed by Adrian Brown
The LOST Theatre, London
From the 3rd - 7th of August 2010
Performances start at 7.30pm
Barra Collins is appearing as Cressida in Troilus and Cressida.
A war caused by one love affair destroys another.
Seven years have passed since the Greeks first began their siege of Troy to recapture Helen, and on the Trojan side of the walls the beautiful Cressida, aided and abetted by her hilariously intriguing uncle Pandarus, has embarked upon a passionate love affair with Prince Troilus. When Cressida is forced to join her treacherous father in the Greek camp, can their love survive a difficult separation or will it join the other casualties of war?
Shakespeare fills his ancient tale with savage comedy, great passion, vivid characters and all the heat and sweat of a long and painful campaign. He seems never more modern than in dealing with the subject of a tragic love pursued in the midst of a pointless war.
