this is my first history shakespeare and i definitely struggled a bit. it is a retelling of the trojan war showing both the greek side and the trojan side in bits of battle discussions ending with multiple one v one sword fights. I think it would be quite exciting to see live. 
it focuses on a couple, trolius and cressida, from the greek side. they are set up by cressida uncle but then cressida is sent away to the trojans. trolius follows her and sees her quickly flirting with the trojans so he decides to fight the man that now seemingly has cressidas heart. meanwhile achilles and ajax have prideful debates over who is better and who shall fight hector of the greeks.

i enjoyed it but it is quite long and if you don’t already know about the trojan war and it’s characters i think it would be quite confusing. there is also an extreme amount of long monologues.
