“Troilus and Cressida” is a play set in the Trojan War and built on themes of love, betrayal, and internal conflicts. The main story is a complicated love story between Troilus and Cressida while the secondary story follows a retelling of the historical Trojan War. Troilus, the prince of Troy, wants to get with Cressida, a trojan woman he has had his eyes on for a while. She eventually falls for him but only after playing him like a fiddle. Cressida’s father, a Trojan citizen now siding with the Greeks, forces Cressida to be exchanged for a Greek prisoner to have her on his side. Cressida is distraught and taken against her will while Troilus just lets it happen and tells her to remain loyal. Meanwhile in the Greek camp, there are many manipulative members, trying to spark each other’s egos leading to extreme internal conflicts. Overall, nobody is the true hero, but every character thinks they are. The main design element, as mentioned before is an unstable Trojan horse, symbolizing the time the play takes place, the deceit of man, and the broken pieces of war. I treated it as a meat map, labeling part of its body in a dehumanizing manner, with symbols that reflect events in the story. The color palette is black and white to represent the lack of hope in redemption with a splash of red for bloodshed.
