Antic Disposition Present 'Twelfth Night' Sept. 21 & 22 Only

Following their recent sold out production of Oscar Wilde's The Importance of Being Earnest at Jermyn Street Theatre, new theatre company Antic Disposition returns to London for two nights only to present their brand new staging of Shakespeare's Twelfth Night at the Cochrane Theatre on Friday September 21 and Saturday September 22.

"Shipwrecked Viola is washed up on the shores of Illyria, a mysterious land where nothing is quite what it seems. Disguising herself as a boy and entering the service of lovesick Duke Orsino, Viola becomes part of an unusual romantic triangle, which is made even more complicated by the arrival on the scene of her unwitting twin brother, Sebastian," describe press notes, "One of Shakespeare's most enduringly popular plays, Twelfth Night is an enchanting comedy of mistaken identity and love lost and found, filled with intoxicating poetry, blithe romance, haunting music and rowdy humor."

Ami Sayers plays Viola in Twelfth Night opposite previous company members Tony Austin and Nicholas White, with Mark Aiden, Ben Bibbings, Barry Clarke, Patrice Dorling, Austin Hardiman, Sarah Ogley and Hadleigh Wood.

Twelfth Night is directed by Ben Horslen and John Risebero with design by John Risebero, lighting design by Howard Hudson and music by James Burrows. Antic Disposition was founded in 2005 with the aim of presenting innovative, entertaining theatrical work from a variety of genres.

Twelfth Night, by William Shakespeare, plays at the Cochrane Theatre located at Southampton Row, London WC1.  Performances are at 7:30PM on September 21 & 22. 

Tickets: £14.00 / £12.00 concs / £8.00 schools, call the box office: 0207 269 1606 or visit www.cochranetheatre.co.uk
