1 April 2009 - 4 April, 2009

Drama

Andromaque
By Jean Racine
Produced by C.I.C.T / Théâtre des Bouffes du Nord in a co-production with Théâtre du Nord, Lille and Cheek by Jowl
Directed by Declan Donnellan
Designed by Nick Ormerod

The heart is a treacherous place.

The Trojan War has ended in a blaze of shame - a massacre of horrific proportions. The homecoming of the heroes has been a disaster for their children. How can the young possibly measure up to such immortal stars as Achilles, Agamemnon, Clytemnestra, Hector and Helen?

Cheek by Jowl return to Northern Stage (after last year’s sell-out Three Sisters) with Racine’s subversive, surprising and ironic critique of the human psyche.

"Remarkable audacity...absolute clarity... Doneellan is one of the most original directors in theatre today." Le Figaro, Paris
