Troilus and Criseyde

 

 

 

In the fall of 2014, I was in an English Literature course studying the works of Geoffrey Chaucer. The instructor for that course encouraged us to choose a final project of a creative nature. I chose to adapt Troilus and Criseyde for the stage as a silent play, with the intent of emphasizing the consequences of each character's inability to speak for him or herself.

 

Below, you will find a link to the adaptation that I wrote for Troilus and Criseyde and a link to the accompanying essay that was written to explain my source material, inspirations, and reasons for the choices I made in the adaptation.
