Scotney Castle Outdoor Theatre: William Shakespeare's 'Twelfth Night'

Love, relationships and mistaken identity. Twelfth Night is Shakespeare’s bittersweet romantic comedy where no-one is quite who they seem.

  • Booking essential

Shipwrecked on an unknown shore, Viola is separated from her twin brother Sebastian. She thinks he’s dead. He thinks she’s dead. And everyone else has no idea which one’s which.

Love, relationships and mistaken identity. Twelfth Night is Shakespeare’s bittersweet romantic comedy where no-one is quite who they seem.

Who’s who? Who’s in love with who? Confusion, misdemeanour and farce abound in this fast-paced comedy full of gender and sexual ambiguity, where none of the characters really know what’s going on!

Twelfth Night promises to be a highly entertaining show, with outstanding performances and amazing new music performed by Changeling Theatre's talented and versatile cast.
