Twelfth Night

1-27 September 2008

“Rock-and-roll Shakespeare’s a blast…just the ticket”

“Work that dazzles the eye, enchants the ear, and stimulates both the mind and heart.” The Daily Telegraph

Puts the fun back into Twelfth Night and allows us to become participants in a feast of misrule” The Guardian

“Infects the audience with the play’s celebratory spirit of madness from the start…you leave feeling slightly changed yourself” Metro

Experience the madness of love and loss in a radically cut, fast paced version of Shakespeare’s much loved comedy where classical verse meets riotous gig.

Filter’s explosive and irreverent new take on this story of romance, satire and mistaken identity combines dynamic narrative drive with a torrent of sound and music creating one of the most accessible Shakespeare productions of recent years.
