Twelfth Night
The Forth Act theatre company is once again performing at the Sunken Garden in Saughton Park, Edinburgh with their production of Shakespeare's 'Twelfth Night'.
About Twelfth Night
Twelfth Night is an iconic tale of separated siblings and mistaken identity. Viola and Sebastian are twins who both survive a shipwreck but each think the other has been lost to the waves. Viola disguises herself as a man called Cesario, and goes into the service of Count Orsino of Ilyria who uses them to communicate messages of love on his behalf to Olivia, but Olivia falls for Cesario instead. Cesario/Viola, however is catching feelings for Orsino, love triangle with added complications much!
Meanwhile chaos and trickery are brewing amongst Olivia's household when Malvolio, her Steward, annoys her uncle, Sir Toby Belch and the other servants who plot to make a fool of him.
As all this is going on Sebastian, Viola's twin, is on his way to Ilyria as well where his arrival may cause even more confusion.
Our production is set in 1967, where society is changing and the rules of love and class are being broken.
N.B. Families are welcome but the production is most suitable for children over 10 years
