A new and irreverent take on this rarely performed Romance. A ripping yarn involving incest, storms, shipwrecks, sex, jousting, kings, knights, pirates, nuns, (more pirates) a pregnancy, a kidnapping, a magic potion, attempted murder, a drowning, two resuscitations and some remarkable coincidences.
This production forms part of the Royal Shakespeare Company's Open Stages 2011-2012 project.
