TNT Theatre (ITCL) has developed an international reputation for presenting dynamic, exciting and direct productions of Shakespeare's major works. Live music, powerful choreography and a simple performance style allow a modern audience to experience Shakespeare's great tragedy as an Elizabethan audience might have done at a London theatre some four hundred years ago.
