Sell a Door Theatre Company are proud to present Twelfth Night by William Shakespeare
The production is produced by David Hutchinson and directed by Bryn Holding and designed by David Woodhead and Nadia Tahari

Award winning Sell a Door Theatre Company unleash William Shakespeare’s tale of Love,
mischief, desertion and entanglement in this dynamic new production.

Shipwrecked on a stormy night in Illyria, the beautiful young Viola disguises herself as a man and manages to find employment as a page in the court of the lovesick Duke Orsino. But, just as Viola finds herself falling for the Duke, Olivia – whom Orsino has been constantly pursuing, finds herself falling for Viola. Meanwhile the chaos is only deepened when servant Maria and the
drunken Sir Toby Belch plot against Olivia’s servant, Malvolio.

Twelve actors bring this outrageous comedy to life as Shakespeare’s most indelible comedic
characters and side splitting situations rocket onto stage in this tale of wild infatuation and
mistaken identities.
