Support CFAB (ISS UK) by seeing Shakespeare’s Twelfth Night

CFAB is the official charity partner of the newly founded Swivel Theatre Company. Swivel aims to support charities through its performances and will be donating some of the proceeds of their next production to CFAB! After the astounding success of Othello last year Swivel is back with its second production which will see Shakespeare’s Twelfth Night return to the London fringe scene…but as you’ve never seen it before!

This production sets the country of Illyria in 1920s Morocco, giving a whole new resonance to the play. Viola washes ashore a country where a woman must dress as a man in order to work and to earn money. Set in the searing heat of North Africa, where men and women’s roles in society are very strictly defined, this comedy of errors will be presented in a whole new context. We will explore questions of gender identity and sexual ambiguity in a rich and vibrant cultural setting.

Swivel’s unique interpretation will be a feast of live music throughout from a traditional Moroccan band, dance and raucous laughter! Not to be missed!

This classic Shakespeare comedy will be at the Cockpit Theatre, Gateforth Street (Off Church Street), Marylebone, London for 3 weeks previewing on 29th February 2012, with press night on 1st March. The show closes on the 18th March and there will be no shows on Mondays. Curtains up at 7.30pm.
