Garden Theatre – Twelfth Night
12 June | 7pm
Join The Lord Chamberlain’s Men for Shakespeare’s greatest romantic comedy, Twelfth Night and enjoy a summer’s evening of outdoor theatre in our spectacular gardens with valley views.
Orsino, Duke of Illyria, is desperately in love with Countess Olivia. But she, in mourning for her brother, has sworn off all men. Suddenly Viola, separated from her twin brother in a shipwreck and now disguised as a man, enters Orsino’s court as his servant and turns everyone’s world upside down. Sent to woo Olivia on Orsino’s behalf, Viola is stunned to find herself the object of Olivia’s affections and, as Olivia falls in love with Viola, so Viola falls in love with Orsino. Romantic confusion, mistaken identity, practical jokes and riotous disorder abounds in Shakespeare’s hilarious and lyrical romantic comedy about love, its many and glorious facets, and the mess it can make of us all.
Bring your own seats or a blanket, sit back and be entertained! Drinks and snacks will be available to purchase from the American Garden Deli before the performance begins.
