Twelfth Night

‘I was adored once too.’

A woman survives a shipwreck and washes up on an unknown shore. Alone and bereaved of her twin brother, she embarks on a secret new life as a go-between for two people in the extremity of love and grief. Caught up in the ensuing love triangle she experiences the chaos and humanity of unexpected love; and she discovers that in Illyria, everyone is hiding something.

With original music composed by singer songwriter Matt Maltese, Prasanna Puwanarajah returns to the RSC to direct a cast including Samuel West as Malvolio, Gwyneth Keyworth as Viola, Freema Agyeman as Olivia, and Bally Gill as Orsino in Shakespeare's bittersweet winter masterpiece; a freewheeling miracle of farce, longing, love and life.
