CURRENT PRODUCTIONS
Reworking of the Cornish legend, set on a raised circular stage with 9m mast. Physical, ensemble cast, with an eclectic mix of live and recorded music. A collaboration between Kneehigh Theatre and the National Theatre.

Commissioned as part of the RSC’s 2006 festival, Kneehigh interprets Shakespeare for the first time. An imaginative new staging fizzes with anarchy, humour and eclectic musicality.

A high energy re-telling of a magical story, using fun, puppetry, music and animation to bring this folktale of loveable rogues, magic pigs, evil brothers and enduring love to life.

FUTURE PRODUCTION
A re-working of the opera Don Giovanni for the 21st century
