TROILUS AND CRESSIDA
A collaboration with the Royal Shakespeare Company for the World Shakespeare Festival as part of the London 2012 Festival
Directed by Elizabeth LeCompte and Mark Ravenhill
A collaboration between the Royal Shakespeare Company and The Wooster Group at the 2012 World Shakespeare Festival. The two companies took opposite sides in the Trojan War: we staged the scenes in Troy while the RSC staged the scenes in the Greek camp. The juxtaposition of contrasting approaches, sometimes awkward, other times galvanizing, accented the cultural face-off in the play.
