The final act, a trilogy of human tales based on Shakespeare’s most modern comedy, Twelfth Night.
For the past five years, award winning local writer, John Knowles has been quietly obsessing over Shakespeare’s Twelfth Night, a play which ends with ‘not one workable long-term relationship’. Out of this has come two plays to date: ‘Toby Belch is Unwell’ and ‘Fiction Romance’ which explore the post play lives of Toby and Antonio.
Now John is embarking on the final part of the trilogy ‘The Devil’s Doorbell’ which sees Viola exploring issues around coercion, sexual idenity and female self empowerment. With this final act John will have completed his Trilogy and will be merging the three into one full evening, woven together with music (including an original sea Shanty by Bob Tipler which tells the tale of Twelfth Night).
