Berlin International Youth Theatre - Twelfth Night

Get ready for Berlin International Youth Theatre ( BIYT) to whisk you away on a wild ride of romance, mischief, gender-bending and 1980s bangers in their new production of Shakespeare’s Twelfth Night. Welcome to the kingdom of Illyria. While the lovesick Duke Orsino pines, the wealthy Countess Olivia mourns and the pompous steward Malvolio dreams of greatness. Then along comes Viola, washed ashore from a shipwreck and separated from her beloved twin Sebastian. To survive in this foreign land, Viola must disguise herself as a boy and go to work in Orsino’s court. However, in doing so she will create a love triangle so tangled, only time will tell how it ends!  Expect fun, frolics and some big karaoke numbers, as the BIYT ensemble return to the stage, putting their rambunctious spin on Shakespeare’s much-loved comedy.  “If this were played upon a stage now, I could condemn it as an improbable fiction" Performed by Aro Hübner, Ava Riding, Clara Meinecke, Eden Rosenthal, Elissa Weber, Eloise Torabi, Ever Morshed Solouk, Frieda Hoch, Harlee Thrasher, Ines Köhler, Nidal Bradlow, Selya-Melek Özer, Sheila Sadigova, Yaroslava Gerasymenko, Yvette Avierinos Directed by Grace Evangeline Holme | Assistant Direction by Lela Mentekidou | Video Design and Artwork by Holly Barnard | Costumes by Angharad Matthews | Lighting Design by Katri Kuusimäki
