FROM THE BARN ARCHIVES

Twelfth Night

By William Shakespeare
Directed by Eric Chorley
Assistant Producers Lilian Allman, Carole Dale Couzens
Musical Director Ray Aspey
Choreographer Deborah Thompson
2nd – 9th February 1980

Madrigal by The Phoenix Singers. Costumes from The Royal Shakespeare Theatre, Stratford upon Avon. Mr Mulrennan’s Hair by Hair Now. Wigs by Wig Creations. Swords by Bapty

First performed before the Queen on 6 January, 1601, this delightful light-hearted comedy reflects the happy disorder of Elizabethan Twelfth Nights when the ‘Lord of Misrule’ encouraged young people to make fun of the pomposity of their elders; when the self-important were brought low and the humble, for a few hours, exalted. “Feste rules OK” as we might now put it.
