Two worlds collide in Shakespeare's lyrical Twelfth Night. Olivia's melancholic, puritanical household clashes head-on with Sir Toby Belch's insatiable appetite for drunken debauchery. Orsino's relentless pursuit of Olivia and Malvolio's extraordinary transformation typify the madness of love in Illyria, a land of makebelieve and illusion, mistaken identity and a ridiculous pair of yellow stockings! In this enormously funny, fast-paced production of Shakespeare's much-loved comedy, dynamic narrative, witty invention and bursts of music result in a joyous celebration. This is undoubtedly one of the freshest and most acclaimed Shakespeare productions of recent years. "This is one of the best Twelfth Nights I've ever seen"
