NT : What's On : Productions : Twelfth Night

Twelfth Night

by William Shakespeare
in a version by Carl Heap

Nothing that is so is so.

A stormy night, a shipwreck, some cunning capers and concealments. All this results in a love tangle to rival no other, and a whole heap of mischief and mayhem in Shakespeare’s most captivating comedy.

Following the success of last year’s production of Macbeth, Carl Heap returns to direct Twelfth Night – the National Theatre’s touring production for younger audiences.

Seven actors play multiple characters and instruments in this engaging and inventive production. Perhaps the best introduction for a child, not only to Shakespeare, but to the transforming magic of theatre itself.

Tickets £10
(£7 for under-18yrs; £5 for schools, with one free teacher place per 10 students).
