- Synopsis:
- The bitter Trojan War drags on - the Greeks blame Achille's apathy for low morale while Troy's hero Hector challenges one of the enemy to a personal duel. And after her father exchanges Cressida for a Trojan prisoner, the war becomes personal for her distraught lover Troilus. Jonathan Miller pitches his acclaimed production of this part-history, part-tragedy between satire and savage farce, highlighting Shakespeare's cynical standpoint where love of mocked and heroism made absurd.
