Twelfth Night
Background
William Shakespeare’s classic tale is a swashbuckling affair. And it covers love, life and also confusion over one’s identity! Furthermore, this features a live ‘Pirate’ Band and a scary yet loveable Pirate Queen. There’s also a Fool or two, and all with tons of fun for all of the family. Indeed, The Boaty Theatre Company are breathing new life into this timeless comedy play.
So, we meet Olivia, the Governess of the island of Illyria. Now, after losing her father and brother, she tries unsuccessfully to rein in the Pirates overrunning the port and town. Furthermore, under Captain Orsina’s watch, the pirates are living a high life. But without bringing Olivia onboard, she can’t reign as the true Pirate Queen of Illyria. However, after a storm separates and shipwrecks the twins Olivia and Sebastian,, they try to carve out a new life. In their minds, they are the only remaining survivor, with the other twin apparently no longer around. But then you add the power-hungry Overseer as Malvolia. Not to mention servants, a drunk uncle, his rich new pal, a Fool, and tons of other elements. So, what could go wrong? Find out by coming along to this hugely entertaining and modern take on an all-time vintage play.
Cast
A cast showcasing local talent is awaiting further announcements. But when the full list of performers is available, we will let you know!
Venue
St. Luke’s Church is more notable amongst Liverpudlians as being the Bombed Out Church. And that’s because of the impact of the Blitz during the Second World War on the church. But its history dates back to its original opening between 1811 and 1832. Furthermore, it remains a cultural landmark for those within the city. And it now acts as a hidden gem for the city with live entertainment and refreshments available for locals. Best of all, it acts as the home base for the Liverpool Theatre Festival. Why not come along to the festival to check out the church yourself?
