Quote "I recently went to the Globe to see Troilus and Cressida. It runs until Wednesday, but honestly, don't bother. It's not because the actors perform it using original Shakespearean accents (though that is weird: as though they're trying to sound Northern Irish but got lost somewhere round Lincoln), it's because, once you've penetrated their brogue, you realise that Troilus and Cressida, as a play, is rubbish. Speeches lead nowhere and you care nothing for anyone. By the time Hector is slain, you're almost weeping from the tedium." --
