    Audience Responses - 'Tis Pity She's A Whore

    Audience members at Bristol Old Vic share their impressions of Cheek by Jowl's 'darkly funny, superbly visceral and poignant' (The Sunday Times) production of the Jacobean tragedy.

    'Tis Pity She's A Whore Trailer

    Declan Donnellan and Nick Ormerod present their 'blazing, daring vision' (Le Figaro) of this Jacobean tragedy. As shocking and controversial today as it was four hundred years ago, incest, religion and corrupt morality collide in this 'sexy, stylish' production (The Times) 'acted with power, passion and edge' (Les Echos).

    Cheek by Jowl - Macbeth - Etrailer

    'One of the greatest events of the international theatre season' El Pais Macbeth is the great tragedy of the imagination. A man and a woman, bound together in ambition are destroyed in a welter of blood. Cheek by Jowl's ensemble conjures Shakespeare's world of witchcraft, ghosts and apparitions in an hallucinatory experience of sound and shadow. Directed by Declan Donnellan Designed by Nick Ormerod www.cheekbyjowl.com

    Cheek by Jowl - Andromaque - Etrailer

    The Trojan War ended in a blaze of shame, a massacre of horrific proportions. Now the children of Troy's Greek conquerors face the impossible task of living up to their immortalised parents. Hector's widow, Andromaque, lives only to save her son. When the Greeks demand his surrender, she is given an appalling dilemma. Racine exposes our capacity for self deception with lacerating clarity.

    Troilus and Cressida Etrailer

    The Trojan War, the defining legend of western literature, is stripped to its raw heart in Shakespeare's scathing satire on glory, chivalry and doomed love. After seven years of fighting, the Greeks and the Trojans have reached a stalemate. As each side renews its thirst for bloodshed, they discover that heroes and heroines do not only fall in battle.
