Overall Grade: C
I think this is one of the Bard's lesser known plays, at least I hadn't heard of it except that it was on the website. Set during the time of the Trojan War, with all the plethora of characters that entails. Troilus is one of King Priam's sons who falls in love with Cressida, who as far as I can figure is the daughter of one of the Greek leaders, who somehow ended up in Troy. In any case this is the Trojan War rehashed once more, in the Bard's iambic pentameter. There are only so many versions one can stomach of the same story.
