Next week, Monday 21st - Thursday 24th July, RoughHouse Theatre will be presenting their version of Twelfth Night at the Bristol Bierkeller. Is this a first?

RoughHouse Theatre first presented Twelfth Night at the Alma Tavern Theatre in January/February this year. Inspired by German cabaret, the production mixed live musical performances with classic Shakespearean text. The show enjoyed a sold out three-week run and a fantastic response both from audiences and the press. Metro gave four stars and described it as "Rip-roaring good fun (with) strong performances all round".

As a result of the success of this show, RoughHouse Theatre have been asked to revive Twelfth Night for the Bristol Shakespeare Festival. We will be the first Bristol-based company to perform as a part the Festival, and this will be the first time the festival has included an indoor event.

Twelfth Night will return to its 1930s Berlin cabaret setting for 4 nights only at The Bristol Bierkeller, Monday 21st – Thursday 24th July.
