Twelfth Night

Foolery, sir, does walk about the orb like the sun, it shines everywhere…

Separated from her twin brother in a shipwreck, Viola finds herself on the sun-kissed shores of Illyria. A world away from England’s grey skies, this is a place of enticing freedom, yet strangely weighed down by a sense of a loss. Disguising herself, Viola sets out to find her way amongst these new people, sending sparks flying in the households she encounters. What results is a tangled web of mistaken identity, unrequited love and gleeful misrule. When all is not what it seems, will love offer salvation or a descent into madness?

A bohemian 70s lifestyle of sun, sea and sand provides a rich playground for all the fun and frolics Shakespeare has gifted this play and, following in the National Theatre’s footsteps, we have a female Malvolio/Malvolia allowing a fresh approach to the traditional household hierarchy. Featuring live music specially composed by Tamara Douglas-Morris, this joyous production will remind you why Twelfth Night is one of Shakespeare’s greatest – and most popular – masterpieces; a bitter-sweet, fast-paced comedy that showcases both the very best and the very worst of people in love.
