Rare Shakespeare Play "Troilus and Cressida"

One of Shakespeare's most rare tragedies, "Troilus and Cressida" is probably the most modern and ready-made for today's audience. Author and literary scholar Joyce Carol Oates remarked that it strikes the modern reader as a contemporary investigation of numerous infidelities, its criticism of tragic pretensions, above all, its implicit debate between what is essential in human life and what is only existential are themes of the 20th century.
