Client Cathy Shiel to star in Autumn Tour of Shakespeare’s Deadly Sins

‘within Shakespeare’s works, you can find each of the deadly sins in their ultimate form’

Conor McKee Productions celebrates Shakespeare’s 450th birthday with a unique and thrilling production. In Shakespeare’s Deadly Sins an ensemble of four of the North’s finest actors takes you on an electrifying journey through gluttony, greed, sloth, wrath, pride, lust and envy. Haunting vocal harmonies and searing stage combat are woven through the action as moments from less performed plays and sonnets encounter scenes from classic works Romeo & Juliet and Macbeth.

Adapted by critically acclaimed writer/producer Conor McKee and directed by two time MEN Theatre Award winner Wyllie Longmore, this performance will delight both Shakespeare connoisseurs and those new to his work.
