Cressida

The second week of my workshop series Women and Anger in Shakespeare will focus on Cressida from Troilus and Cressida.

Imagine. 

You see this guy. He’s ridiculously attractive. 

You don’t even know how to talk to him, what to say or how to say it. 

You tell your uncle. Uncle’s, like,  “hold that thought.” and rents a motel room for you and that attractive guy for the afternoon. 

You pledge love to each other, forever.

Then you find out that your estranged dad has ordered a political trade — and you are the pawn. 

You are surrounded by soldiers, 

woman-starved 

and 

salivating. 

Would you be angry?

Through a tea ritual, discussion and text-based analysis, we will uncover Cressida's rage, let her speak, and find what we can in her story that can help us today.
