TWELFTH NIGHT

Written by William Shakespeare

 

June 1 – July 1 | 2023

 

The incredibly popular  Twelfth Night, which hasn’t been performed at the Ruins since 1997, is arguably Shakespeare’s finest comedy, filled with revelry and longing. The play, directed by Christopher Brauer (of The Three Musketeers at the RMTC), reimagines our players as ‘rogue youths’ who occupy the Ruins and throw huge, delightful dance parties around the park…but things get serious when love, a deep desire for belonging and the pursuit of justice get in the way – a coming of age tale for our times. National Theatre School graduate and Shaw Festival actor Anaka Sandhu plays Viola, while Darren Martens (Aramis in The Three Musketeers at the RMTC) plays the lyrical and love obsessed Orsino. Get ready to be swept up by music and laughs!

  

Performed at The Ruins @ Trappist Monastery Provincial Heritage Park
