This critically acclaimed production of Tristan & Yseult catapulted Kneehigh 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.
In its latest incarnation this unforgettable version of the greatest love story of the Celtic tradition will delight audiences as well as break hearts at Shakespeare’s Globe.
‘Sink down upon us. Night of love, make me
forget I live.’
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 of Kneehigh’s shows, blends comedy, live music, grand passions and tender truths in an irresistible night of love.
Tristan and Yseult has been hailed by critics as ‘a triumph’, ‘deliriously joyful’ and ‘breathtaking in every respect’.
