ARTISTIC POLICY
Kneehigh tells stories and are renowned for their distinctive physical, musical, and visually-arresting style. Based in Cornwall, the company creates theatre of humanity on an epic and tiny scale. Kneehigh works with an ever-changing ensemble of performers, musicians, artists, and administrators, and are passionate about their multi-disciplined creative process. Kneehigh works to create relevant, innovative, and emotionally-charged work, and to reach out in meaningful ways to the non-theatre-going community.

REVIEW EXTRACTS
The company at its most inventive.
The Observer (Cymbeline)
A glorious romp, swift, funny, cheeky and inventive…This is Kneehigh at its best: don’t miss it if the tour comes anywhere near you.
The Sunday Times **** (Cymbeline)
A show from the wondrous Kneehigh, the company that has put the soul back into storytelling in the theatre.
The Guardian (Rapunzel)
