Following a hugely successful, sold-out tour in 2024, Ockham's Razor, produced by Turtle Key Arts, return with Tess.

A ground-breaking circus adaptation of Thomas Hardy‘s Tess of the D’Urbervilles which captures the language, beauty, heartbreak and yearning of the novel which has extraordinary relevance for our times.

Commissioned by The Lowry and London International Mime Festival. Funded by Arts Council England, The Foyle Foundation, PRS Foundation’s The Open Fund for Organisations, Garrick Charitable Trust and Royal Victoria Hall Foundation. Supported by artsdepot, Shoreditch Town Hall, National Centre for Circus Arts, Bristol Circus City and MimeLondon.
