SHAKESPEARE: TROILUS AND CRESSIDA

Declan Donnellan, the artistic director of Cheek by Jowl, talks to Heather Neill in detail about his production of Troilus and Cressida – presented as part of his company’s residency programme at the Barbican.

There’s a marvellous essay by Nuttall in a book called Shakespeare the Thinker, where he makes the brilliant observation that Hamlet wrote Troilus and Cressida.
