Twelfth Night at Fort Amherst
Dock Road, Chatham, Kent, ME4 4UB
25th July
A play by William Shakespeare. If this were played upon a stage now, I could condemn it as an improbable fiction.
Shipwrecked on an unknown shore, Viola is separated from her twin brother Sebastian. She thinks he’s dead. He thinks she’s dead. And everyone else has no idea which one’s which.
Viola embraces a secret new identity by disguising herself as a boy to work for the Duke Orsino. She falls in love with him, but he’s already in love with Olivia. Olivia then falls for Viola thinking she’s Sebastian.
Who’s who? Who’s in love with who? Confusion, misdemeanour and farce abound in this fast-paced comedy full of gender and sexual ambiguity, where none of the characters really know what’s going on!
If music be the food of love, play on.
