Troilus & Cressida: RSC, 1986.

One frequent modern concept of the play is to resite it in some modern conflict like the Crimean War. "There is a general trouble-in-the Balkans flavour to the production. The military figures are in shabby Ruritanian uniforms, and Pandarus, in cream linen suit and panama, looks as though he had strayed out of Turgenev - his air of languid decadence supports this impression."
