Fixing Troilus & Cressida
Fixing Troilus & Cressida is an updated version of Shakespeare’s play written in contemporary English – including the curse words. Troilus and Cressida is the love story hidden in the center of history’s greatest war. As the Greeks enter their seventh year of hammering against the Trojan’s wall, one young warrior, Troilus, is ready to risk it all and pledge his loyalty to a new love Cressida. The relationship is nurtured by the matchmaker, Pandarini, who advises, scolds, and pushes the lovers to trust one another. Around them war and chaos burn, Hector rages, Ulysses plots, Achilles stalls, Agamemnon tries to keep it all together, and Cassandra foresees death.
