A BBC Radio 4 full-cast dramatisation of Chaucer's Troilus and Criseyde by poet and writer Lavinia Greenlaw. One of the great works of British literature, this powerful, persuasive storyline explores love from its first tentative beginnings to passionate sensuality and eventual tragic disillusionment. Lavinia Greenlaw's new version for radio brings Chaucer's language up-to-date for a modern audience while remaining true to his original poetic goal. After seeing the stunning widow Criseyde at the temple in Troy, Troilus falls instantly deeply in love with her. Inexperienced in love, he is unable to work on his emotions and locks himself in his room to compose love sounds. Criseyde's Uncle Pandarus becomes the matchmaker for the few, but what will happen when Criseyde is paid to the Greeks at the gates of Troy to join her 'traitor' daddy? The solid includes Tom Ferguson as Troilus, Maxine Peake as Criseyde and Malcolm Raeburn as Pandarus. Also starring Kathryn Hunt, Kevin Doyle, Terence Mann and Declan Wilson. Directed by Susan Roberts.
