​

All’s fair in love and war? Not according to Shakespeare. Troilus and Cressida is his critique of both – proving that fighting for honour is never really that honourable, and hearts can be turned despite all protestations.

Part comedy, part tragedy, part satire, part history, the play defies binary categorisation. Brimful of posturing and pouting, it’s an exploration of gender stereotypes and how dangerous they are for all of us – both in the past and the present.
