| Description |
A bitter-sweet tale of frustrated adolescent love, gender confusion and high-jinks that occur on the twelfth night of Christmas - the traditional night of misrule when authority is mocked and the existing social order turned upside down. Strangely old-fashioned production, with costumes reminiscent of Rembrandt paintings. |
