In Shakespeare’s captivating comedy, mismatched lovers and devious tricksters navigate the slippery shores of Illyria in search of their own happy endings.
A shipwreck separates twins Viola and Sebastian, but tragedy quickly turns to comedy when they wash up in a land turned upside-down by love. With raucous antics, ravishing language and rich characters, Shakespeare creates a bittersweet tale of laughter and longing.
Twelfth Night features some of Shakespeare’s finest comic characters including Sir Toby Belch, Sir Andrew Aguecheek and the victim of their constant torment Malvolio.
Paulette Randall returns to Nottingham Playhouse following her previous highly acclaimed productions Moon on a Rainbow Shawl, Angel House and Three Sisters.

Can't wait to see 12th night !! I just love Shakespeare and I could happily watch his work till the cows came home and went out and came home again.
