This timeless study of politics and passion 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.
‘One of the best nights in the theatre I have ever spent in my life… Such passion, such drive, such conviction, and some of the best performances I’ve ever seen on an Irish stage… ‘
