Irish Première & Irish Times Theatre Award Winner for Best Production
Don Carlos
by Friedrich Schiller in a version by Mike Poulton
"They have contracted the same terrible disease: Humanity. And Humanity, you know, is very contagious."
Power, corruption, terror...16th century politics with 21st century parallels...
Don Carlos - a timeless study of politics and passion that has brought Friedrich Schiller back to the centre of world theatre. Schiller's masterpiece is an electrifying tale of manipulation, idealism, and tyranny, charged to the hilt with contemporary political resonance. A great drama that speaks to troubled times, Don Carlos explores the conflict and compromise between the private impulses of individual freedom and the public duties of power
