Experience the madness of love and loss in a radically cut, fast pased version of Shakespeare's much loved comedy where classical verse meets riotous gig.
Filter's explosive, irreverent and deeply heartfelt take on Twelfth Night releases the darkness and light of Shakespeare's text, combining a dynamic narrative drive with a torrent of sound and music. The result is an accessible production that is playful, hilarious, dark and often downright anarchic.

"shot through with the sound track of love and fast beating,
storm tossed hearts... the company make this often revived play seem
newly minted."
"work that dazzles the eye, enchants the ear and stimulates both
the mind
and the heart."
