Your weekly dose of theatre in York returns for another week.
This week we preview a play described as "the most significant English language play of the 20th century", Samual Beckett's 'Waiting for Godot'.
We review this weeks Dramasoc's production of 'The Saliva Milkshake' and we have our preview of The York Shakespeare Project's ambitious production of 'Troilus and Cressida'.
Star-crossed lovers, epic battles and an empire on the brink of collapse . . .
The mighty Greek campaign against the Trojans has reached stalemate, with both sides quarrelling amongst themselves. Against this turbulent backdrop, Troilus and Cressida must battle the power politics and ruthless diplomacy which threaten to crush their newfound love.
York Shakespeare Project’s production of ‘Troilus and Cressida’ re-locates Shakespeare’s classic tale of love and war to York, 1644. The English Civil War provides a dramatic fictitious setting for this timeless story, which explores the potent mix of conflict, romance and chivalry amidst turmoil.
Combining period music, live accompaniment and singing with edge-of-your-seat combat, ‘Troilus and Cressida’ promises a memorable evening’s entertainment.
More information about the production avaliable on the York Shakespeare Project website here.
And on a personal note; Congratulations to everyone who helped us achive national recognition in The Student Radio Awards. We have highlights of the ceremony to round off todays show.
