The Cutting Ball Theater's Reading Series Presents TROILUS AND CRESSIDA 11/8
San Francisco's cutting-edge Cutting Ball Theater presents the second installation in this season's Hidden Classics Reading Series, William Shakespeare's TROILUS AND CRESSIDA. The betrayal of love. The absence of heroism. The emptiness of honor. Based on the writings of Chaucer and Homer, TROILUS AND CRESSIDA is The Bard's most satiric and biting critique of war. Wickedly funny and devastatingly poignant, this play chronicles a doomed love story set in the middle of the Trojan War.
Co-founded in 1999 by theater artists Rob Melrose and Paige Rogers, Cutting Ball Theater presents avant-garde works of the past, present, and future by re-envisioning classics, exploring seminal avant-garde texts, and developing new experimental plays. Cutting Ball Theater has partnered with Playwrights Foundation, Magic Theatre, and Z Space New Plays Initiative to commission new experimental works. The company has produced a number of World Premieres and West Coast Premieres, and re-imagined various classics. Recipient of the 2008 San Francisco Bay Guardian Goldie award for outstanding talent in the performing arts, Cutting Ball Theater earned the Best of SF award in 2006 from SF Weekly, and was selected by San Francisco Magazine as Best Classic Theater in 2007.
