William Shakespeare's Twelfth Night
Filter Theatre
In association with the Royal Shakespeare Company
Directed by Sean Holmes
Music by Tom Haines and Ross Hughes
Commissioned for the RSC’s Complete Works Festival in 2006, Filter Theatre’s fast-paced, liberally-edited rendering of Shakespeare’s beloved comedy lands squarely at the intersection of Classical Verse and Riotous Gig. In a swift 90 minutes, this unforgettable story of romance, mistaken identity, gender-bending intrigue, and satire is swept along in a meticulously plotted soundscape and jam session, shuffling folk, jazz, and heavy metal. It’s a sweet, lawless Illyria, where mayhem and melancholy unfold in equal measure. “Rock-and-roll Shakespeare’s a blast…Filter is a company blessed with wit, style, and a touch of magic” (Daily Telegraph, UK).
