The return of Kneehigh’s TRISTAN & YSEULT

Kneehigh Theatre’s TRISTAN & YSEULT, co-written by Carl Grose and Anna Maria Murphy, and with sound design by Gregory Clarke, has begun its 2013 revival tour, which will take in venues across the UK before (tour listing here).

Cornish King Mark is at war; he rules with his head not his heart. But he hasn’t counted on falling head over heels for his enemy’s sister, or expected the arrival of the enigmatic Tristan.

This critically acclaimed production catapulted Kneehigh onto the national stage. This is the original tale of forbidden desires, broken hearts and the agony of choosing one human being over another. Seen through the eyes of the 'Unloved', Tristan & Yseult blends comedy, live music, grand passion and tender truths, in an irresistible night of love.

TRISTAN & YSEULT is one of Kneehigh’s most loved shows which critics have called “a triumph”, “deliriously joyful” and “breathtaking in every respect”.

Now this is theatre …a spectacular yet intimate show in which the comical, the classical the heartfelt and the sultry all becomes one …a hundred inventive touches …Did I mention that I loved it?
The Times *****

Frankly, if this show doesn't make you fall in love with theatre, there's no potion on Earth that can help you.
