Troilus and Cressida

Set during the Trojan War, Troilus and Cressida is a provocative play about politics, brutality, vanity, and lust. Troilus, a prince of Troy, loves the beautiful Cressida, but can they resist the pressure to betray their families and their countries? This timely drama of lost innocence and sexual betrayal is played out against the backdrop of a senseless war which no one seems to know how to bring to an end. “Lechery, lechery, still wars and lechery; nothing else holds fashion.”

Troilus and Cressida is being presented as part of the St. Louis Political Theatre Festival.
