Shakespeare’s vision of rebellion, collaboration and uneasy peace is given a poignant anniversary revival in the atmospheric surroundings of St Giles’ Church, Cripplegate.
Thrown together in limbo, mid-way between Europe and the East, a group of exiles fight for control of a haunted land and a contested history, while the indigenous inhabitants plan their resistance.
Performed by an international cast, this new work by Jericho House restores surviving music that would have accompanied the play when it premiered 400 years ago. For the first time sound and narrative are reunited in this greatest of meditations on territorial conflict, displacement and political renewal.
’As riveting an example of site-specific theatre as I’ve ever seen.’ The Times on Jericho House’s Katrina
Performance time: 19.45 (Sat matinees 14.00)
Running time: 105 mins / no interval
Please note that this site specific performance takes place in a church. Please dress warmly.
