Quote "King of Prussia was essentially brandy smuggling back..."
King of Prussia was essentially brandy smuggling back in the 1800s and it felt very relevant to Kneehigh, because there was a lot of political intrigue, as it were, within the writing of the show, which is Nick Darke in a nutshell. It’s not just about a Poldark-style show about brandy smuggling. There's a lot more to it with references to modern politics and that side of it. It felt very poignant for us to do it.
