Twelfth Night ran in The Little in January 2019 and was part of our annual Shakespeare for Schools initiative, the most ambitious element of our Youth and Community Programme, reaching over 1500 young people every year in Southwark and Lambeth. The project aims to enable more young people to engage with Shakespeare and have the opportunity to see live theatre that is exciting, innovative and contemporary, when they might not otherwise have the chance to do so.
Whilst searching for her lost twin brother in Illyria, Viola stumbles upon something entirely unexpected - love. But in Illyria, love's true course is never going to run smoothly.
No one is quite what they claim to be in this strange place - male/female, lover/fighter, happy/sad, fool/priest - which leads to all sorts of complications.
Shakespeare's classic comedy of love and identity is given a rollicking makeover with a festival vibe and live music on stage. Grab your wristbands now before they all get snapped up!

Bound ran in our old Vault space underneath London Bridge in 2011. It follows the fortunes of six trawlermen from Devon as they embark on one final voyage. Compelled by the threat of bankruptcy, fishing trawler 'The Violet' is forced out into treacherous weather. Competing against the overpowering force of nature, the tribulations of life with the opposite sex and each other's egos, will they lose more than a way of life?
