'Twelfth Night' by William Shakespeare
Wednesday 19th May 2010 - Saturday 22nd May 2010

The Deben Players return to the Seckford Theatre to present William Shakespeare's classic comedy 'Twelfth Night'.

Sebastian and Viola, twins separated in a shipwreck, wash ashore each thinking the other dead. The tale of mistaken identities and mismatched loves is set into motion when Viola disguises herself as a man to serve as a page in the court of the love-sick Duke Orsino. She becomes enamored with the Duke who pines for the Countess Olivia, who in turn wants nothing to do with him and instead falls in love with the Duke's new page. As the confusion persists, the scheming Sir Toby Belch and his fellow pranksters humiliate the brooding steward, Malvolio, for trying to curb their merriment. Throughout all the chaos, Sebastian and Viola find each other and all, with the exception of an irate Malvolio, are reconciled.

Performances start at 7.30pm each night at the Seckford Theatre.
