Troilus and Cressida
THIS ARCHIVED EVENT ENDED ON THE 20TH SEPTEMBER 2009
Nearby Troilus and Cressida

Matthew Dunster is not afraid to get his hands dirty in the theatre - his "stunning contemporary take" (The Stage) on Macbeth at Manchester's Royal Exchange demonstrates a gritty approach to Shakespeare and he's already regaled the Globe with The Frontline this year, a modern-day approach that "fizzes with life" (The Guardian). These credentials alone make him the perfect director to stage the Globe's first full-scale production of Troilus and Cressida with its bold mix of bloodthirsty war, cynical comedy and tainted passion. Shakespeare's characters from the jaws of Greek mythology fuel the war with a wolfish appetite for more, echoing through the ages with a timeless knell that gives this play a vivid contemporary voice. Plenty of meaty parts and plot lines for Dunster and co. to get their teeth into as Troilus and Cressida play out their love affair against the deep scars of warfare.About Shakespeare's Globe Theatre
This replica of the Shakespeare's 16th century theatre, reconstructed just 200 yards from its original site, is the brainchild of American actor and director Sam Wanamaker. Built in wood and thatch, using techniques from 400 years ago, Shakespeare's Globe Theatre opened in 1996. More about Shakespeare's Globe Theatre
