SHAKESPEARE’S Twelth Night is the latest production from Nantwich Players.
This play opens on February 19 with a large cast, which includes many new members of the award-winning drama group, under the guiding hand of guest director Gordon Hamlin.
Featuring young people behaving foolishly, older people behaving badly, identical twins and unrequited love, the Players are staging Shakespeare’s darkly comic play in traditional period style and costume.
Players’ spokesman Charlotte Lightbody said: “The actors are thrilled to have the opportunity to stage a Shakespeare play and our audiences are in for a treat.
“It is a sad fact that some people have never seen a Shakespeare play.
“We may not have David Tennant as our star but we hope people will overcome their caution and join our regular audiences for a good night out.
“We have a lovely little theatre with a licensed bar and a very friendly welcome.
“We have also been pleased to discover how popular Twelfth Night is this year.
“The Royal Shakespeare Company production in London stars Richard Wilson as Malvolio, and Sir Peter Hall is to direct it at the National Theatre in the autumn, with his daughter Rebecca as Viola, so we are in good company.”
Tickets are £6 and are on sale now at the Nantwich Tourist Office on 01270 537359.
The show runs from February 19 to 27.
