Twelfth Night by William Shakespeare

Armed with fresh approaches from over a decade of touring Shakespeare across the UK, Bowler Crab returns to an old favourite as production 34 sets sail in June 2025.

Split by a shipwreck, twins Viola and Sebastian unravel a prank-filled plot like no other as they join some of the Bard’s liveliest characters. Amidst the celebrations of Twelfth Night, Viola falls into a love triangle as Orsino and Olivia become infatuated with her; the problem being that Viola is disguised as her brother! But can all be forgiven when a harmless prank involving a letter and colourful attire imprisons the vengeful Malvolio?

Bowler Crab produced Twelfth Night in 2014 and again in 2018.
