This classic is often played as an arch chamber piece, stuffed as it is with memorable quotes and characters. I think, however, that it is a far ‘sexier’ play  than this, full of unspoken passions simmering just below the surface. I plan to excavate this side of the play and, in the process, unearth even more comedy…

Forget your preconceptions – let’s have some fun with this one!

Jo and Lisa are delighted to be collaborating again and will be bringing 'What you Will' their own spin on Shakespeare's 12th Night to the stage in March /April of next year. Somewhat surprisingly, it will have an 80s rock vibe, pretty much picking up from where Binderella left them.

Will Orsino the lead singer of a rock band, manage to woo the supermodel Olivia, or will his curious new Roadie divert his attention instead!?... This will be a high energy comedy and Lisa and Jo are committed to making it a whole lot of (likely camp, irreverent) fun for the cast, crew and the audience.

Those with musical ability are particularly welcome to audition. The audition will be 30 December at 7.45, watch this space - more details will be in the next newsletter (and find out more at the meet the directors evening!)

If you want to register early interest or contact Jo / Lisa with any questions do get in touch.
