In a statement accompanying the announcement, CSF Producing Artistic Director Tim Orr commented on the “artistically ambitious season,” noting, “we’re especially proud to present plays that—-like “Troilus and Cressida,” last staged in the Mary Rippon Outdoor Theatre in 1964-—don’t come around very often. Or a play like “Equivocation” thatap brand new to our audiences.”
