Twelfth Night cover

Propeller's edit of Shakespeare's ambiguously erotic comedy.

Propeller takes on Shakespeare's comic masterpiece and shades it with more than a touch of darkness. Features details and photos of the production, including notes on the design and music.Twelfth Night is an ambiguously erotic comedy telling a twisted tale of mistaken identity, transformation and deception. With a man playing a girl disguised as a boy, illusion and reality are almost indistinguishable on Propeller’s island of Illyria. Dark and delightful, the play questions what happens when you fall in love with the wrong person, and the answer is both beautiful and bittersweet. This edition of Twelfth Night Includes the Propeller edit of the text, accompanied by an introduction to the text and Propeller’s process, with articles on notable features specific to the production, including the use of music, design, and costume.

Propeller's production of Twelfth Night at Hampstead Theatre is an accomplished and immaculately presented kind of Shakespeare - it really is very funny. Propeller is an all-male Shakespeare company, so while they are guaranteed a few titters from the presence of 6ft men dressed in frilly ensembles, they have stayed true to Twelfth Night's origins as a comedy * Londonist *
Whether you love Shakespeare or fear Shakespeare, these shows can speak to you. They are thrillingly fresh collisions of the contemporary and the classical. * The Times *
