Upcoming summer show Twelfth Night coming to Rauceby Hall
Forget iambic pentameter, Nonsense Theatre's Twelfth Night is iambic pandemonium!
This open air production of the Shakespeare classic is said to be like “a jester on mead, transforming Illyria into a medieval mosh pit of drunken knights, ukulele jams and mistaken identities!”
The play is coming to Rauceby Hall, near Sleaford, from July 2 to 4, when twins Viola and Sebastian wash ashore onto an island where noblemen recite sonnets, peasants break into tavern shanties, and nobody is entirely sober or entirely sane.
Think Monty Python’s coconuts meet Princess Bride’s wit, Robin Hood: Men in Tights’ swagger, and a splash of Pirates of the Caribbean’s chaos, all staged with live music, slapstick sword-fights, high energy and picnic-friendly beautiful settings. Fun for all the family and also that famous line, “If music be the food of love, play on!”
Performances start at 7pm each evening, plus a 2pm matinee on July 4.
