Synopsis:

Welcome in the festive season with this spellbinding adaptation of Shakespeare’s masterpiece, following a five star, sold-out run in Stratford-upon-Avon.
 
UK Theatre Award-winning Director Prasanna Puwanarajah revives his ‘inspired and spellbinding’ (The Stage) production, designed by James Cotterill, which sees Freema Agyeman (Olivia), Michael Grady-Hall (Feste), Gwyneth Keyworth (Viola) and Samuel West (Malvolio), alongside Daniel Monks as Orsino.
 
A woman survives a shipwreck and washes up on an unknown shore. Alone and bereaved of her twin brother, she embarks on a secret new life as a go-between for two people in the extremity of love and grief. Caught up in the ensuing love triangle, she experiences the chaos and humanity of unexpected love; and discovers that in Illyria, everyone is hiding something.
