Description

Adapted by Scott Graham and Steven Hoggett This is mating ground. There's tension around the pool table, cues in hand. A world of broken glass and beatings in the car park. It's dog eat dog. And it's about to kick off... The country's leading movement theatre company Frantic Assembly, presents this electrifying take on Shakespeare's most brutal and gripping thriller-tragedy of paranoia, jealousy, sex and murder.
