Meek

Event Date: 
17/03/2020 - 7:30pm to 21/03/2020 - 9:15pm
Venue: 
Cygnet Theatre, Exeter

Cygnet Company Director Alistair Ganley

A provocative drama about women, freedom and power. In a society where private lives become political and freedom of expression is not an option, Irene finds herself imprisoned. As tales of her incarceration spread overseas and her growing exposure becomes a threat, she is forced to make a brutal decision. Penelope Skinner’s (Linda/The Village Bike) 2018 play is a haunting vision of ruthless state control, tense friendships and one woman’s determination not to be broken. Meek is a tale which reflects on our own fraught times.

An event not to be missed, the critically-acclaimed theatre company the Pantaloons are coming to Exeter to give Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet a fresh twist that will have you laughing until you cry.

With all of the classic ingredients including romance, swordfights, potions and tragically slow messengers, the Pantaloons take this ill-fated love story and combine it with live music, audience interaction and their trademark vital sense of ‘play’ to perform a version of Romeo and Juliet like you’ve never seen before. And not forgetting that famous bit on the balcony…
