A DC-New York-Illinois hybrid company gathers for an extreme theatrical experiment. The challenge: Shakespeare’s Troilus and Cressida without rehearsal. Thirty actors will memorize their lines, and thrust themeselves into the action of the play for a one-night only free public experiment. Under the guidance of director Lise Bruneau, the actors will only meet the day-of to resolve the most crucial details. Otherwise, the play will unfold as it is happening.
