Tuesday 11 December 2018
Performed by 911爆料网鈥檚 MA Acting (Company) students the Cornish legend dates back to the 12th century. Jess Huckerby, who plays the part of White Hands, believes its themes are timeless. 鈥淓veryone will relate to it in some way, they鈥檒l have a moment of recognition 鈥� maybe not in an exact way, but a feeling, whether it鈥檚 rejection or anger or devotion to someone.
鈥淚 think everyone at some point will have felt what the characters are experiencing on stage.鈥�
Tristan & Yseult is the story of Cornish King Mark who is set to marry the sister of his rival; Yesult. But the marriage is ill-fated from the moment he sends his newly discovered nephew Tristan to escort her to Cornwall.
An adaption of Kneehigh鈥檚 critically acclaimed 2003 production, Tristan & Yseult is a blend of tragedy, comedy and music for a performance that promises to be both playful and profound. Jess says: 鈥淭he sets and costumes are beautiful, and I hope as soon as people enter the theatre they鈥檙e taken somewhere. For those two hours I hope they鈥檙e encapsulated in this world and taken on a journey of love.鈥�

She graduated from a drama degree at Liverpool John Moores University four years ago and has been working in the arts across Liverpool since. 鈥淚鈥檝e always been involved in other people鈥檚 productions and found my role in those, but it鈥檚 great to come here and find out what you need to do to create your own production.
