Adults £18.00 Children £12.00 Family 2+2 £50
Join The Lord Chamberlain’s Men this summer, in their 21st
year, for Shakespeare’s greatest romantic comedy, Twelfth
Night. With a history stretching back to William Shakespeare’s
original company, they present this joyous play as he first saw
it – in the open air, with an all male cast and Elizabethan
costumes, music and dance.
“If music be the food of love play on!”
Orsino, Duke of Illyria, is desperately in love with Countess
Olivia. But she, in mourning for her brother, has sworn off all
men. Suddenly Viola, separated from her twin brother in a
shipwreck and now disguised as a man, enters Orsino’s court as
his servant and turns everyone’s world upside down. Sent to
woo Olivia on Orsino’s behalf, Viola is stunned to find herself
the object of Olivia’s affections and, as Olivia falls in love with
Viola, so Viola falls in love with Orsino.
“O time, thou must untangle this, not I.
It is too hard a knot for me to untie.”
Romantic confusion, mistaken identity, practical jokes and
riotous disorder abounds in Shakespeare’s hilarious and lyrical
romantic comedy about love, its many and glorious facets, and
the mess it can make of us all.
“Nothing that is so, is so.”
Bring a chair and a picnic and prepare to be entertained and
transported. Book early to avoid missing out!
