Twelfth Night by William Shakespeare 14-16 March 2024
Shipwrecked and separated from her twin brother, Viola washes up on a strange shore. Disguising herself as a man called Cesario, Viola finds work with Duke Orsino, only to fall head over heels in love with him. But Orsino is in love with Olivia, who is grieving for her brother and refusing all offers of romance. Until, that is, she sees Cesario for the first time. Add one ambitious butler, a drunken uncle and some practical-joking servants and you have a hugely entertaining story of hoaxes, heartbreak and hidden identities.
