Twelfth Night
T01359615984
Or What You Will. Shakespeare comedy of mistaken identity, practical jokes and unrequited love. Rescued from a shipwreck the twins Viola and Sebastian arrive independently in Illyria, both thinking the other is drowned. Viola disguises herself as a boy and finds employment with the Duke who is in love with Olivia. Malvolio is the subject of a cruel joke played on him by Sir Toby Belch (yellow stockings cross-gartered) leading him to believe that Olivia loves him. But Olivia has fallen in love with the disguised Viola, while she is in love with the Duke (following it so far?!).

Production details
This new production takes Shakespeare's gender-swap comedy a step further, with all the male parts taken by women and the female parts by men. The chaos and comedy of mistaken identity creates an evening full of magic and mayhem, with music specially written and performed live by one of Norfolk's most exciting Indie rock bands, The S#arps.
