TRISTAN & YSEULT

Emma Rice and her company return to St. Ann’s Warehouse with her beloved Tristan & Yseult after years of world touring. Bursting with glorious live music (and a hint of Wagner), irreverent humor, and Rice’s singular theatrical magic, this wildly entertaining production transports audiences from laughter to heartbreak and back again.

When Cornwall’s King Mark sends Tristan into battle to collect Yseult, his Irish bride-to-be, the two fall madly in love, setting off a chain of events both tragic and heroic. In Rice’s world, the Cornish court looks more like a scene from Reservoir Dogs than one from Poldark. In fact, it is set in “The Club of the Unloved,” where Tristan and Yseult’s intoxicating love story alights in hilarious, low-fi aerial acrobatics, and a live band performs new and found music that will have audiences clapping and dancing through their tears. A landmark production with over 20 years of amazing reviews, that has inspired generations of theater-makers, Tristan & Yseult remains as exhilarating, moving, and joyfully unpredictable as ever.

This show will run 2 hours with intermission.

This show features haze and fire effects and depictions of sex and self-harm.

Ages 13 and up are recommended for this performance. No one under age 5 will be admitted.
