About This Show
King Mark at war 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 and voyages ensue. With live music and an international cast, Kneehigh Theatre’s production of Tristan & Yseult is epic and exhilarating. Following a five-star, sellout run at London’s National Theatre, the award-winning Cornwall-based company makes its US debut with possibly one of the most entrancing theater productions to ever be seen at the Dock Street Theatre. Witty and tender, Cornwall’s oldest love legend comes crashing into the 21st century. The Independent says, “The production executes a little miracle. It takes the mind and heart to an altered state. The result is one of the best evenings in theatre you could hope to find.”
