Twelfth Night

by William Shakespeare

performed by BTG Wednesday 15th to Saturday 18th November 2006

The classic Shakespeare comedy with a modern twist

It's a hot summer’s nights in Club Illyria - the only place in town.

A storm at sea, a ship sent to the ocean’s floor and into the heady world of Illyria comes Viola, mourning the loss of her brother.

Soon she is working for Orsino, disguised as a man, and sent to woo the fair Olivia on his behalf.

Cross dressing, mistaken identity and seduction interweave with the strains of the torch song, burning in the night.

Lovers and strangers collide in Shakespeare’s sublime comedy.

A stylish and breathtaking adaptation that will please all ages with its wit and eccentricity.

Sung live, numbers include “Ne Me Quitte Pas”, “Feeling Good”, “Fever” and “Stay With Me Til Dawn”.
