Shakespeare’s Troilus and Cressida is a powerful and unconventional play that defies easy categorization.

Set during the Trojan War, it follows the passionate but doomed love affair between Troilus and Cressida, exploring themes of honor, deception, and the futility of war.
Combining moments of romance, biting satire, and bleak tragedy, the play challenges the very notions of heroism and virtue.

Often considered a "problem play" for its shifting tones, Troilus and Cressida was rarely performed for centuries—making this new production at Shakespeare’s Globe a must-see event.
