Troilus and Cressida
Shakespeare's retelling of the fall of Troy is being given a little twist. What if Shakespeare's productions had Elizabethan era versions of modern television productions? What if Shakespearean actors had to contend with test of the Emergency Broadcast System, a ticker running at the bottom of the stage, and commercials?

William Shakespeare's
Hamlet
Written by: Tom Stoppard
Tom Stoppard continues his association with Hamlet by taking the most famous and best loved lines from Shakespeare's play and condensing them into a hilarious thirteen minute version. This miraculous feat is followed by an encore ~ a two minute version~!! The multitude of characters is played by six actors with hectic doubling, and the action takes place at an abridged Elsinore Castle. -AD

Directors Notes
One of my top ten life goals is to direct every show in the Shakespearean canon. That being said there are a few of them which I would also like to cheat on and skip. Troilus and Cressida was one of those plays. Of course the backdrop of the story, the fall of Troy, is a wonderful topic but the play itself has no sense of direction; switching hap-hazardly from comedy to love story to tragedy to war story and never fully resolving any of its parts. However, out of a sense of playground fairness I chose not to cheat and skip but instead to place my own genre on this wayward piece. It’s a farce, and in truth is not farce at its core simply an over stated combination of all the aforementioned themes. I hope that you enjoy this opportunity to enjoy a piece of theatre that you have most likely never seen and will most likely never see again as much as I have enjoyed working on it
