"Award-winning director Katie Mitchell brings a dark and passionate tale from composer George Benjamin and playwright Martin Crimp to the stage. Written on Skin draws on a 12th-century Occitan legend about the troubadour Guillaume de Cabestanh. A powerful Protector commissions a young artist to create an illuminated book to celebrate his power. The book sparks the rebellion of the Protector's submissive wife Agnès, setting the scene for an extraordinary act of revenge."
