April – 10 May A
glittering evening of music, mischief, Matters of the heart are never simple. When Viola falls madly in love with the dashing Duke Orsino, she finds herself in the middle of a tricky love triangle. Broken hearts, mistaken identities, unrequited love and drunken late night parties… Twelfth Night is Shakespeare's most musical show. The fun-filled, heart-warming love story is set aboard a glamorous 1920s ocean liner and is played to some of the greatest songs from the era, all performed live on stage. Songs by composers such as Cole Porter and Richard Rodgers include My Melancholy Baby, What is this Thing Called Love, Let’s Do It (Let’s Fall in Love) and many more. The show is true to Shakespeare’s glorious original, with plenty of extra zest and sparkle. Whether you’re a fan of Shakespeare’s comedies, a sucker for a timeless love story or you just love timeless classic songs, Twelfth Night is for you. |
