Show details

Synopsis

Twelfth Night, often described as one of Shakespeare's greatest comedies and revolves around Sebastian and his twin sister, Viola - each of whom, when separated after a shipwreck - believes the other to be dead.

Cast ashore in a strange land of Illyria, Viola protects herself by adopting a male disguise - a ruse that leads to hilarious confusion when she enters the service of the lovesick Duke Orsino, acting as go-between in his hopeless suit to the Countess Olivia.

The play features some of Shakespeare's greatest comic creations including Sir Toby Belch and Feste.

Twelfth Night is a masterpiece of unrequited love, gender reversal and mistaken identity and this production is not to be missed.
