Tristan & Yseult
The original Kneehigh / Emma Rice production
No knights in shining armour, no old-fashioned romance.
Just the thrilling madness of love.
After two decades of performances in London, New York and around the world, Emma Rice’s acclaimed modern masterpiece is set to enthral audiences once again in this brand-new revival.
Tristan and Yseult is one of history’s greatest love stories—the mediaeval legend that inspired Wagner’s opera, and countless other works for stage and screen. It revels in forbidden desires, broken hearts, grand passions and tender truths.
Visceral, playful and heartbreakingly beautiful, this Tristan & Yseult will make you laugh and cry, and want to dance through your tears. It blends myth, comedy, live music, storytelling and aerial acrobatics into a fizzing cocktail of theatre. Now re-made and re-mastered, this landmark show has inspired a global generation of artists and audiences. Its charge of raw emotion will sweep you away with the madness of love!
Advance Bookings will start at 10am on 7 October 2026
