thefaction and
Tabard Theatre presents
TWELFTH NIGHT
By William Shakespeare, envisaged by
thefaction
Following the
success of Macbeth earlier this year, the
Faction return to the Tabard Theatre with their
exciting new production of Shakespeare’s comedy
masterpiece.
“If music be the food
of love, play on”
Twins Viola and Sebastian
are separated during a shipwreck, each believing the
other is dead. Disguising herself as a boy to serve in
the court of Duke Orsino, Viola is sent on a mission to
woo Olivia on his behalf. But Olivia falls desperately
in love with Viola’s alter ego...
Featuring the unforgettable
characters of Sir Toby Belch, Sir Andrew Aguecheek,
Malvolio and Feste, combined with the Faction’s
trademark visual inventiveness, this striking new
production is a must see for experienced theatregoers
and new audiences alike.
“The company’s constant
inventiveness coupled with some detailed character work
extending right across the cast really hold the focus...
this is a production worth travelling for.”
EVENING STANDARD, Entertainment Lowdown
“The company manage
to expertly tread the line between past and present day
theatre and, in doing so, remind you what an arresting
play this is.”- THE STAGE
“TheFaction has
returned with another thought provoking production...
their inventive and physical approach has blown away the
cobwebs.”
