At the height of the war between the Greeks and the Trojans, Prince Troilus, son of King Priam of Troy, falls head over heels in love with Cressida, the daughter of a deserter. Soon, though, the lovers are separated, when Cressida is returned to the Greek camp in an exchange of prisoners. This is a story that has inspired countless versions in western literature. William Shakespeare published his own –by turn hilarious, passionate, and even terrifying– in 1609. Troilus and Cressida is Cheek by Jowl’s most ambitious production to date. Stage design, music and lighting are harnessed to create a powerful show featuring spectacular combat scenes. The enormous attention paid to the actors’ craft and movements is a trademark of Cheek by Jowl, a company formed by Declan Donnellan and Nick Ormerod in 1981.
