Shakespeare Unbard, Episode 24: O Beauty, Where is Thy Faith? Nowhere to be found with Troilus and Cressida

It's hard not to applaud Shakespeare for the audacity of Troilus and Cressida, whose cynical and unhappy story seems to mark Shakespeare's turn towards the darker themes that would mark the rest of his career. In this episode you'll hear excerpts and clips from:

 

  • Arkangel Recordings. Troilus and Cressida. 2014.

  • Shakespeare, William. The Tragedy of Troilus and Crsssida. Houghton and Mifflin, 1974.
