Prepare for a wild ride with Shakespeare’s riotous rom-com, where laughter and bewilderment go hand in hand.
Stranded on the coast of Illyria, the clever and resourceful Viola, separated from her twin brother Sebastian, disguises herself as a man and enters the service of Duke Orsino.
As she navigates her new life, she becomes entangled in a whirlwind love triangle where identity, passion, and gender blur and collide. Bursting with vitality and romance, Twelfth Night introduces one of Shakespeare’s most captivating heroines, who matches wits with an array of memorable characters, from the lovesick Olivia to the puritanical Malvolio.
This play is a rich tapestry of comic courtship, mistaken identities, and fluid romance. With its ingenious central plot involving twins of different genders, and its delightfully funny side plots, Twelfth Night serves up a feast of laughter, poignant moments of grief, and the joy of unexpected revelations.
“A lively farce that builds to breakneck speed, with plenty of the usual elements to drive the story – a love triangle, character confusion and mocking of character and society’s pretensions.” - Keeping Up with NZ
