- Kneehigh
The brilliant and inimitable Kneehigh revisit the production of the ancient Cornish tale that won them so many new admirers over a decade ago.
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. Seen through the eyes of the ‘Unloved’, Tristan & Yseult, the most successful and beloved of all Kneehigh’s shows, blends comedy, live music, grand passions and tender truths in an irresistible night of love.
This critically acclaimed production catapulted the company onto the international stage over a decade ago. Since then the show has played to rapt audiences across the world, from roofless Cornish castles to intimate New York warehouses.
Tristan & Yseult has been hailed by critics as “a triumph”, “deliriously joyful” and “breathtaking in every respect”.
Tue-Sun 7.30pm plus Sat and Sun 2.30pm, £11.50-£40. For more info, visit bristololdvic.org.uk/tristan-and-yseult.html
