Notes:
Although based on one of Shakespeare’s bitterest plays, Troilus and Cressida (reduced) is a wickedly funny romance.
“Taylor’s funniest work to date dazzles with bright-spirited, belly-laugh humor [turning] Shakespeare’s bitter play of love and betrayal into a hoot. At the root of his humor lies his astute observation of human nature involving romantic matters in which mere humans appear as stumbling, clueless oafs.” – Susan Broili, Durham Herald-Sun
