Heritage Open Days: Killerton House and Gardens
Killerton House and Gardens will be taking part in the Heritage Open Days Festival on Friday 12 September and Saturday…
View EventWith a history stretching back to William Shakespeare’s original company, they present this joyous play as he first saw it – in the open air, with an all male cast and Elizabethan costumes, music and dance. “If music be the food of love play on!” Orsino, Duke of Illyria, is desperately in love with Countess Olivia. But she, in mourning for her brother, has sworn off all men. Suddenly Viola, separated from her twin brother in a shipwreck and now disguised as a man, enters Orsino’s court as his servant and turns everyone’s world upside down. Sent to woo Olivia on Orsino’s behalf, Viola is stunned to find herself the object of Olivia’s affections and, as Olivia falls in love with Viola, so Viola falls in love with Orsino. Add Viola’s twin brother Sebastian into the mix and the scene is set!
Bring a chair and a picnic and prepare to be entertained and transported. Book early to avoid missing out.
The performance running time is approximately 2 hours and 5 minutes including a 15-minute interval.
Tickets – Adults £19.00, Children £13.00
