Twelfth Night - Open Air Theatre - Burtown House

Gift Horse Theatre present Twelfth Night this August as an open-air theatre event. Eight actors come together to rehearse Twelfth Night (with an audience). Roles will be doubled up - and tripled, and switched around, and switched back again - as the cast fight for their chance to show how it should really be done. Our version of Twelfth Night will be playfully brought to life through live music, dance, mischief and mayhem.

This August, Gift Horse are taking Twelfth Night to a number of outdoor venues around Dublin. Each performance will be on an intimate scale with social distancing in place for audience members. The running time of the show is two hours with a short interval. Please bring your own picnic blankets or picnic chairs (and picnics if you like). If you have any accessibility issues, please do not hesitate in contacting gifthorsetheatre@gmail.com with specific requirements.

"This play then was nothing short of excellent. It was poignant, witty, and powerful and somehow managed to relate its ageing dialogue to twentieth-first century youths" - University Times
