Twelfth Night

By William Shakespeare
Created by Filter  Directed by Sean Holmes

Tuesday 5 - Saturday 9 October 7.30pm
Thursday Schools Matinee 2.30pm
Saturday Matinee 2.30pm

Two worlds collide in Shakespeare’s lyrical Twelfth Night. Olivia’s melancholic, puritanical household clashes head on with Sir Toby Belch’s insatiable appetite for drunken debauchery. Orsino’s relentless pursuit of Olivia and Malvolio, her steward’s extraordinary transformation typify the madness of love in Illyria, a land of make-believe and illusion, mistaken identity and a ridiculous pair of yellow stockings!

In this enormously funny, fast-paced production of Shakespeare’s much-loved comedy, dynamic narrative, witty invention and bursts of music result in a joyous celebration. This is undoubtedly one of the freshest and most acclaimed Shakespeare productions of recent years and was originally performed in the Royal Shakespeare Company’s Complete Works Festival.

for all… A blast of fresh air”
