Grab your chance to see ★★★★ ‘the must-see autumn Shakespeare’ (The Standard) Troilus and Cressida in the Globe Theatre, before the limited run ends on 26 October.
Shakespeare’s satirical take on the ancient myth of the Trojan War comes to life in a ‘topical tapestry of war, tattered myths and inadequate leaders’ ★★★★ (Financial Times). What happens when the heroes we worship no longer live up to their mythic narratives?
In his Globe debut, Director Owen Horsley (Twelfth Night, Regent’s Park Open Air) ‘has tremendous fun’ ★★★★ (Time Out) in a ‘bawdy and ballsy… entertaining yet dark’ ★★★★ (The Times) production that ‘bursts with ideas and invention’ (The Guardian).
‘War and lechery confound all!’
– Act II, scene 3
