Critically-acclaimed production company Cheek by Jowl return to the venue with what critics are calling ‘a dazzling display’.

The Winter’s Tale tells the story of a delusional and paranoid king who tears his family apart. But this is the new Shakespeare, after he completed his great tragedies, and the tough struggle for redemption yields flickers of hope. Initial darkness gives way to joy as Time leads the characters to a shattering conclusion.
