Prepare to have your entire world shaken up as Shakespeare’s tragicomedy, Twelfth Night, or What You Will arrives at the Globe Theatre this summer in a dizzying and intoxicating whirlwind.
It’s a day of celebration in Illyria, but not everyone feels in the mood for frivolity: the mourning heiress; the lovesick duke; and the besotted steward, to name a few.
Enter grief-stricken, and shipwrecked Viola. As she attempts to understand the rules of this new bittersweet society, before long, she finds herself in a weird love tangle, fuelled by longing, loss, and secret desire. But love can be equally as changeable as the weather…
Robin Belfield returns to unleash Shakespeare’s topsy-turvy story of the power of love and freedom of expression into the Globe Theatre.
‘Why this is very midsummer madness’
– Act III, scene 4
