Miracle Theatre is back on the road this summer with a new production of Shakespeare’s dazzling comedy Twelfth Night, a joyous, chaotic tale where love knows no boundaries!
It is the story of twins Sebastian and Viola who are separated from one another by sea and storm. Shipwrecked and without her brother for the first time, Viola finds herself washed up in Illyria, a playground for the hedonistic and lovesick elite. What unravels next sends the story spinning into a tangle of unrequited love, mistaken identities, hilarious awkwardness, cruelty, and mischief.
First adapted by Bill Scott in 2002, this fresh, bold take comes from Miracle’s co-artistic director Sally Crooks, a longstanding Miracle collaborator who also directed last year’s summer hit, Love Riot.
Expect a fresh, bold, and accessible take on Shakespeare’s comedy, blending Miracle’s playful spirit with the Bard’s wit. Prepare for belly laughs, heartache, gloriously outrageous characters, and a contemporary twist proving once and for all that it’s hearts, not parts, that truly matter!
Experience Twelfth Night under open skies across Cornwall and the Southwest, from town venues to stunning natural landscapes. These unique settings will transform a timeless tale into a truly unforgettable theatrical experience.
Twelfth Night is touring across Cornwall and the wider Southwest until August 23rd.
Tickets start at only £9 for children for some venues, with concession rates available for students and benefit recipients.
