Experience the Bard’s beloved comedy like never before in our al fresco production of Twelfth Night, set to a sultry jazz soundtrack that echoes the sophisticated sounds of 1960’s Rome. Couture costumes, Sofia Loren-style, shimmer under the stars as our cast brings to life the timeless tale of love, deception and mistaken identity, infused with the decadent glamour of Fellini’s La Dolce Vita. Join us for a night of revelry and romance, where Shakespeare’s witty repartee meets the hedonistic charm of Italy’s ‘Sweet Life'.
