Event Description : Filter Theatre presents William Shakespeare's "Twelfth Night" English Play. 

Synopsis: Two worlds collide in Filter’s explosive take on Shakespeare’s lyrical Twelfth Night. Olivia’s melancholic, puritanical household clashes head on with Sir Toby’s insatiable appetite for drunken debauchery. Orsino’s relentless pursuit of Olivia and Malvolio’s extraordinary transformation typify the madness of love in Illyria -- land of make-believe and illusion. This story of romance, satire and mistaken identity is crafted into one of the most exciting and accessible Shakespeare productions of recent years. Experience the madness of love in this heady world where riotous gig meets Shakespeare.  

In this seemingly informal production the stage is covered in cables, technical equipment, synthesisers, microphones, amplifiers and supporting instruments that enable Filter to create the world of the play through sound. Performed under house lights or in broad daylight with all actors except for one in casual costumes, the experience is almost more like a rock concert than classic theatre. And yet it is utterly true to the play, the text all Shakespeare. 

About Filter Theatre Company : "One of Britain's best and boldest devising companies" (Metro - 2011)
“A company celebrated for their irreverent, penetrating deconstructions of the classics”
(Independent – 2015)

Led by actors Oliver Dimsdale and Ferdy Roberts, and musician Tim Phillips, Filter has been creating innovative, exciting theatre since 2003. Filter's unique collaborative language explores the interaction between sound, music, text, and movement, in a desire to make stories that awaken the imaginative senses of an audience. Working out of a sense of trust, and retaining a robust emotional honesty and playfulness, the company creates new works of original theatre, as well as dynamic incarnations of existing texts.  

Directed by Sean Holmes
