Troilus and Cressida on Video – 1981
About this release
"I take today a wife, and my election..."-Trolius As reviewed in Choice, "This video of Troilus and Cressida is simply excellent, and will be a valuable resource to anyone teaching the play." A well-acted production, with creative use of the camera, it presents the modern interpretation of the play as the negation of chivalry, love and honor. Cressida deserts her adored Troilus, with scarcely a second thought. On the battlefield, the hero Hector dies unceremoniously.
