Troilus & Cressida

Troilus & Cressida is one of William Shakespeare’s later plays. Written around 1602, it was possibly performed in 1602-03 – although there is no record of the performance, and the play was not published until 1609. Its genre has also been under debate, with the play being characterised as a history play when published, and alternating between a tragic and comedic tone.

Recent productions include: Our Lady of Blundellsands, Sweeney Todd, The Conquest of the South Pole, Romeo & Juliet, A Clockwork Orange and The Big I Am – a reimagining of Peer Gynt, all at the Liverpool Everyman; and Edward II at Shakespeare’s Globe.
