Troilus and Cressida

A one-of-a-kind satirical adaptation of Shakespeare’s rarely performed play, exploring the cult of celebrity and the egos that propel wars forward. Posing the question: What happens when the heroes we worship no longer live up to their mythic narratives?

There’s no end in sight to the seemingly pointless, exhausting Trojan War. The manufactured glamour of war is losing its sheen in Troy, and he Greek camp is an apocalyptic wasteland. A timely tale of inadequate leaders and crumbled myths.

Melodrama Must-See
GIANT
New York

“I was lucky enough to see this at The Royal Court and it was unforgettable. John Lithgow transforms into a complex, curmudgeonly Roald Dahl and leaves you with your jaw on the floor by the play's end. Sophisticated in its writing, Giant is deceptively witty, haunting and timely.”
