  Shakespeare on Radio 3 - October and November 2005 'Troilus and Cressida' Sunday 30th October 7.00 - 9:30pm NEW PRODUCTION A new production for Radio 3. Set during the Trojan War, Shakespeare's Troilus and Cressida is both a story of doomed love and a powerful, provocative enquiry into ethics, value and the slippery nature of truth. Out of favour for many years it is now being discovered as a play that speaks very directly to modern audiences. TROILUS.................
