CURRENT PRODUCTIONS
The great tragedy of the imagination. A man and a woman, bound together by ambition, are destroyed in a welter of blood. Cheek by Jowl’s latest work conjures a world of witchcraft, ghosts and apparitions in an hallucinatory experience of sound and shadow.
WRAP-AROUND
Cheek by Jowl give pre-show talks (including book signings of Declan Donnellan’s ), workshops and master-classes (the latter tend to be held at drama schools). The company has a particular interest in working with emerging theatre professionals (actors, directors and designers).
