Alright! 31 days left until Troilus and Cressida!!!! Are you all excited? Well, you should be. 

Okay, so the first thing we're going to post is a basic "What is Troilus and Cressida?"

Well, what is Troilus and Cressida?
Troilus and Cressida was written by William Shakespeare (who you all better know), and at its most basic plot line, is a segment of history taken out of the Trojan War. The Trojan War was a war that begun when a Trojan prince stole a woman of Greece from a high ranking Greek official (you will know these characters in much greater detail later on as the rehearsal process continues). However, this play only takes a section right out of the middle of the Trojan War. Although based on actual events, the story is told through Shakespeare’s language and point of view. There are many many characters in Troilus and Cressida, and throughout the course of the next few weeks, you will get to know them well.
A large portion of Troilus and Cressida is based on Greek Mythology. As each character is developed throughout the rehearsal process, and we comment on each character thusly, we will also explain their role in Greek Mythology and how that inter-relates with the plot of Troilus and Cressida. You'll see. This will be awesome. 

31 days?????? Bring it!!
