Queens distribution. Arrived at 11:00 a.m. and only about 25 people ahead of me.



Lots of terrific lines and language. My English teacher cousin told me the play was written around the same time as Hamlet and Twelfth Night. Joyce Carol Oates thinks Troilus and Cressida is a play that is underrated.



The play was great. Bleak and fascinating. John Glover (Pandarus),Corey Stoll (Ulysses) and Ismenia Mendes (Cressida) were outstanding. The entire cast was first rate.

Hope to score tickets for tonight's Troilus and Cressida. Great line from play:

"Things won are done; joy's soul lies in the doing."(Cressida-Act I, scene II)
