Details

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?!). Come to our family friendly matinees (all ages welcome) and see our motley crew unravel a colourful, magic story of love & pranks - or join us for the evening shows, where the darker side rules & all things naughty come out to play... Inspired by the old school pantos & mummers of the past, Twelfth Night will be a truly traditional & simultaneously crucially contemporary event. Running time: approx. 2hrs (with interval)
