Twelfth Night

27th-31st August 2026
Location The Roman Theatre
Tickets £15.00 – £47.50

Presented by OVO’s Youth Ensemble

By William Shakespeare

Directed by Faith Turner

After a violent shipwreck tears twins Sebastian and Viola apart, Viola washes up alone on the sun-soaked shores of Illyria — a seaside playground ruled by hedonistic excess and emotional chaos.

What follows is a fast-spinning tangle of mistaken identities, unrequited crushes and outrageous misunderstandings, all seasoned with a liberal dash of cruelty and mischief.

Twelfth Night is Shakespeare at his most joyful and sharp-witted: a glorious celebration of love, nostalgia and the sheer thrill of a good party.

OVO’s Youth Ensemble returns after critically acclaimed productions of The Secret Garden (2024) and Lord of the Flies (2025), bringing this bittersweet comedy to life in a vibrant seaside setting, where romance runs wild, laughter comes in waves, and nothing is quite what it seems.
