Tristan & Yseult
Tuesday 18 - Saturday 22 October 2005
 

Originally co-commissioned by Nottinghamshire County Council, this story of ill-fated lovers makes a long-awaited return to the region following a sell-out run at the Royal National Theatre.

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. And he really hasn't counted on his trusted aide Tristan falling for the same woman. Battles, love potions, voyages and intrigue ensue. This is a dangerous and delicious game.

Charged with naughtiness, wit and tender observation, this energetic and moving production brings Cornwall's oldest love story crashing into the 21st century.

With live music and an international cast, this is epic, exhilarating theatre. ‘It made me want to gurgle with delight…. It embraces you so warmly it feels like you have been physically hugged. I loved it with a passion.' The Guardian

‘The production executes a little miracle….which takes the mind and heart to an altered state. The result is one of the best evenings in theatre you could hope to find.'The Independent

A Nottinghamshire County Council Stages co-promotion with Nottingham Playhouse.
