Changeling Theatre and Phoenix Community Events return to Margate Main Sands with their outdoors performance
5pm - 7.30pm
“If this were played upon a stage now, I could condemn it as an improbable fiction.”
Love, relationships and mistaken identity. Twelfth Night is Shakespeare’s bittersweet romantic comedy where no-one is quite who they seem. Shipwrecked on an unknown shore, Viola is separated from her twin brother Sebastian. She thinks he’s dead. He thinks she’s dead. And everyone else has no idea which one’s which.
Viola embraces a secret new identity by disguising herself as a boy to work for the Duke Orsino. She falls in love with him, but he’s already in love with Olivia. Olivia then falls for Viola thinking she’s Sebastian.
Who’s who? Who’s in love with who? Confusion, misdemeanour and farce abound in this fast-paced comedy full of gender and sexual ambiguity, where none of the characters really know what’s going on!
Twelfth Night promises to be a highly entertaining show, with outstanding performances and amazing new music performed by Changeling’s talented and versatile cast.
“If music be the food of love, play on.”
