As the lovesick Duke Orsino pines for the beautiful Countess Olivia, a young woman named Viola is shipwrecked and a complex love-triangle emerges. Add a raucous trio led by the mischievous Sir Toby Belch, and an explosive mix of mistaken identity, riotous disorder and gender confusion ensues. Brought into a 1930’s setting, Shakespeare’s bittersweet comedy Twelfth Night offers the perfect excuse for a picnic with friends set against Kew’s beautiful background. Join us for an evening where the air is filled with passion and poetry, music, and laughter.
