About this title: This edition is the first to offer a detailed account of the theatrical treatment of Troilus and Cressida on the British and North American stages from its first revivals at the beginning of the twentieth century to the present.

"Minority opinion here, but this is one of my favorite of Shakespeare's plays and one of the most interesting. Shakespeare had an unusual idea of love and loyalty that is very well illustrated in this work. Because it is so poorly understood, Cressida gets a bad rap. A fascinating play."

However, I can see that in the right production they might be able to work against this issue."
