David Tennant and Cush Jumbo return to their landmark performances in Shakespeare’s most extraordinary psychological drama.
Unsettling intimacy and brutal action combine at breakneck speed as Max Webster directs the tale of love, murder, and nature’s power of renewal. Groundbreaking sound design and live Celtic folk music (all played through lightweight headphones provided) immerse the audience in every whisper, cry and thought.
Featuring the original company of the sold out Donmar Warehouse season, this unforgettable staging will now play a strictly limited run at London’s Harold Pinter Theatre from 1 October 2024.
