Illyria. A land of timeless fantasy — who, in any era, wouldn’t want to wash up there? — Curzon Theatre Productions bring you Shakespeare's 'Twelfth Night' to fanciful life – this time as a turn-of-the-20th-century romance, inspired by the 1915 sinking of the transatlantic ocean liner RMS Lusitania off the coast of Ireland.
Lady Viola is washed ashore but her twin brother Sebastian is lost. Determined to survive on her own, she steps out to explore a new land.
So begins a whirlwind of mistaken identity and unrequited love. The nearby households of Countess Olivia and Duke Orsino are overrun with passion... Where music is the food of love, and nobody is quite what they seem, anything proves possible.
