Summary from IMDb

   "RSC Artistic Director Gregory Doran directs the rarely performed Shakespeare play set in the Trojan War in its first production in the Royal Shakespeare Theatre (RST) since 2006 when it played as part of the RSC's Complete Works Festival. Troilus and Cressida swear they will always be true to one another. But in the seventh year of the siege of Troy their innocence is tested, and exposed to the savage corrupting influence of war, with tragic consequences.

My notes

  This is a new rip from DVD for a new group of fileshares.

  Early on in the performance it is great to see an actor whom I first saw in The RSC "Two Gentlemen of Verona" (which is in my file group.  Leigh Quinn, Lucetta from Two Gentlemen, appears here as Alexandra in a brief role.

  Of particular interest is the instrumentation and musicianship which we see as the audience during the play.  I thought of the avante garde composer Harry Parch in some of the more erie passages and various Stomp performances and togo drums.  The composers Evelyn Glennie and Dave Price  music have a featurette
on the original music.

  Another featurette is an interview segment with Charlotte Arrowsmith.  I son't want to say more about this since it may provide a spoiler.

  Also in this DVD torrent I was able to include the Commentary track by Gregory Doran.
The audio available from your player such as VLC has two tracks of the play and the commentary track
as Play audio One,  Commentary,  Play audio Two.  Play audio One was reshaped to enhance voice
and diminish highs and lows for more private viewing (midnight theatre effect.)

  A favorite from this play is Thersites who provides comic relief.  In the Ambrose edition of BBC Shakespeare from 1985 or so, the casting choice was The Magnificent Orlando whom I still remember as being a show highlight.  Well worth seeking out.  Here petite Sheila Reid provides counterpoint  for the outsized military heroes.
