About Twelfth Night

Shipwrecked, separated from her twin brother and stranded in an unfamiliar land, Viola disguises herself as a young man and finds herself caught in a tangled web of love, mistaken identity and unexpected desire. As affections become misplaced, schemes spiral out of control and a hilarious household prank goes too far.

Shakespeare’s beloved comedy Is full of wit, music, mischief and moments of unexpected tenderness, Twelfth Night is a sparkling celebration of love in all its wonderfully unpredictability.

Common Grounds' acclaimed production of Twelfth Night focuses on the classic storyline of love and loss, whilst also drawing attention to the darker subplots of pride, hatred, and revenge that Shakespeare masterfully weaves into the tale.

Original, continuous live score and new musical settings of Shakespeare’s words, performed live every night acts as a vital narrative engine to the play, dynamically tracking and driving the psychological landscape of Illyria.

Swept along in a frolic of rich costumes and classic comedy clowning, this is a generous, accessible and entertaining Twelfth Night not to be missed.
