Revel in RSC’s fresh take on Twelfth Night, starring Freema Agyeman & Samuel West, with original tunes by Matt Maltese, playing at the Barbican this festive season.
-
Prasanna Puwanarajah revives his Stratford hit with RSC at the Barbican in an “inspired and spellbinding” staging, balancing wild comedic energy and melancholic resonance for a festive masterpiece.
-
Olivier-winner Samuel West lifts Malvolio beyond farce as Freema Agyeman (Doctor Who) brings sharp wit and emotional depth to Olivia’s evolution from mourning to marvel, contrasted powerfully with Gwyneth Keyworth’s raw, androgynous Viola, whose grief fuels her disguise and desire.
-
Jame's Cotterill’s towering Edward Gorey–inspired organ set and Zoe Spurr’s lighting shift tone from glittering farce to Gothic poignancy, while Matt Maltese’s original indie‑pop score weaves humour and heartbreak into every scene
-
British Theatre Guide called it “a feast of musical gags,” where Matt Maltese’s lush compositions and theatrical gags, like an organist sporing on the organ, fuel riotous joy even in its darkest undertones. Book your winter treat with Twelfth Night play tickets today!
The story
Shipwrecked Viola arrives in Illyria, believing her twin Sebastian lost, and disguises herself as Cesario, wooing Count Olivia on Orsino’s behalf. But Olivia falls for Cesario, Orsino pines for Olivia, and Viola harbors secret love, all tangled in witty disguises and emotional revelations. With modern songs woven in, book your Twelfth Night play tickets for a bittersweet comedy full of mistaken identities.
