TROILUS & CRESSIDA
By William Shakespeare
July 26 – August 6
Heroes, kings, lovers, and clowns expose the follies of war
with sardonic insight and cynical wit. A mythic who's who of classic
heroic characters - Hector, Ulysses, and Achilles along with lovers
Troilus and Cressida - come face to face with stark realities after a
years-too-long military conflict. A satirical, farcical, and sometimes
tragic comedy on Shakespeare could deliver, and a rare opportunity to see it.
“Extreme Shakespeare.”
This production will be rehearsed the way Shakespeare’s
company would have: Actors arrive with their lines
learned, rehearse on their own, wear what they can find,
and open in a matter of days. No director, no designers.
Just great actors, a great play, pure adrenaline,
spontaneity, creativity and fun.
Recommended for ages 13+.
Prologues: join us for insights into the play in an informal setting. FREE. Held in the the theatre 45 minutes prior to curtain.
Please be advised that groups (ten tickets or more) are not available online.
To purchase group tickets, please call the box office at 610-282-WILL (9455)
