DIRECTORS 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.
