About Twelfth Night

Directed by Prasanna Puwanarajah, this acclaimed production, praised by The Stage as inspired and spellbinding, features striking design by James Cotterill and sees the return of Samuel West as Malvolio, Freema Agyeman as Olivia, and Michael Grady-Hall as Feste, all reprising their celebrated roles.

The story follows a young woman who, after surviving a shipwreck and believing her twin brother lost, finds herself in a strange new land. Disguised and alone, she becomes entangled in a web of love, loss, and mistaken identity, where secrets abound and nothing is quite as it seems.

With original music and songs by singer-songwriter Matt Maltese, this bittersweet, joyfully chaotic tale of longing, laughter, and love runs for six weeks only, until 17 January 2026. Don’t miss this enchanting theatrical event.
