WorldStage21
A not-for profit, amateur audio theatre group for the 21st Century - Born out of the pandemic lockdowns in 2021.
In a previous incarnation as The Hope Theatre group (and earlier, St Mary's Youth Theatre Menston) and led by our Director Peter Gilbert we were frustrated in our plans to perform on stage, so moved to audio with a new name and our first Shakespeare adaptation - Troilus and Cressida.
We plan to add further Shakespeare plays in the coming years.

Troilus & Cressida - by William Shakespeare - Act 2
(Scenes 3.3 to 5.11 in the standard text + Epilogue - Sonnet 60)
Ostensibly, the action takes place at Ilium, the Trojan citadel, and in the Greek military encampment beyond the city walls during the Trojan war (c1300 BCE), a war about which few hard facts are positively known, but of which stories survive in myth and legend.
However, Shakespeare seems to have imagined the events as part of a conflict of his own day, and in this production they may be imagined as taking place in a theatre of war at almost any time since then, especially between the start of the First World War in 1914 CE and the present day.
Act 2 includes our Director's adaption of Shakespeare's Scenes 3.3 to 5.11 in the standard text and an Epilogue using Sonnet 60.
