About

Something for Nothing Theater, a sponsored project of Austin Creative
Alliance, presents “Shakespeare at Ramsey Park: Troilus and Cressida by William Shakespeare"

Two armies, two lovers, two hours! This June, find out what William Shakespeare can do with the story of ancient Troy.

Troilus and Cressida is Homeric fan fiction from Shakespeare’s pen. The play has a siege, battles, and the famous final showdown between Achilles and Hector. But there’s also a love story! Cressida (Becca Musser, in her farewell Austin theatre performance) is in love with Troilus, son of the king, but she can’t tell him. Then her uncle Pandarus makes a plan to bring them together. All seems to be going well until the war gets in the way.

The tradition of Shakespeare in Ramsey Park (4301 N. Rosedale Ave Austin TX 78756) continues with our 2017 summer show. Our company produces the plays with minimal props, costumes, and lighting, focusing onstorytelling and the wonderful language of Shakespeare. For this production, the script has been cut down to less than two hours, so it will be a snappy experience, unlike the
epic you may have read in school!

Bring a blanket or chair, pack some snacks, and join us on this Trojan journey! For more information, contact Artistic Director Deb Streusand at s4ntheater@gmail.com or www.facebook.com/SomethingforNothingTheater.

Troilus and Cressida takes place at Ramsey Park Pavilion (4301 Rosedale Ave, Austin,
TX 78756) Thursdays - Saturdays, June 8-10, 15-17, and 22-24, beginning at 8:00 p.m.
