Two performances of Shakespeare's Twelfth Night will take place at Powys venue

The Shakespeare Circus will perform on Saturday, August 8 from 2pm until 4.30pm and 7pm until 9.30pm.

A shipwreck leaves Viola stranded in Illyria with one practical solution: to disguise herself as a young man and get a job. It’s a solid plan - right up until she’s sent to woo Countess Olivia on behalf of Duke Orsino… and everyone promptly falls in love with the wrong person.

In this sharp, fast-moving six-actor take on Twelfth Night by William Shakespeare, romance collides with ambition, vanity, and a spectacular lack of self-awareness.

Orsino luxuriates in his own heartbreak. Olivia abandons hers at impressive speed. Viola tries to keep the whole thing from unravelling. Meanwhile, a late-night drinking club launches an ill-advised prank involving forged letters and a pair of unforgettable yellow stockings.

With six performers playing the entire world of Illyria, this production leans into the play’s wit, heart, and beautifully escalating absurdity - where love is sincere, pride is fragile, and no one is quite who they seem.

There will be an interval in this show
