Hear Declan Donnellan and Nick Ormerod (Cheek by Jowl's joint Artistic Directors) in conversation with Lucie Dawkins, a Theatre Director and Podcast Producer for Cheek By Jowl's Not True, But Useful Podcast, as they discuss this tale of revolution, love and murder.

This talk is offered exclusively to Cheek by Jowl patrons, Barbican Members and Young Barbican Members and will start at 6:00pm, taking place before the evening's Life is a Dream performance. Barbican Members are welcome to bring a guest, they must have their own ticket.
