“Love sought is good, but giv’n unsought is better.”

Whilst searching for her lost twin brother in Illyria, Viola stumbles upon something entirely unexpected – love. But in Illyria, love’s true course is never going to run smoothly.

No one is quite what they claim to be in this strange place – male/female, lover/fighter, happy/sad, fool/priest – which leads to all sorts of complications.

Shakespeare’s classic comedy of love and identity is given a rollicking makeover with a festival vibe and live music on stage. Grab your wristbands now before they all get snapped up!

Directed by RSC Creative Fellow Anna Girvan (Associate Director, People Places and Things) and designed by Anna Reid (The Cardinal, Dear Brutus) this production will be suitable for everyone aged 10 and above.
