“If music be the food of love, play on!”

Get ready to jazz up your evening at The Ebell with a spectacular blend of live music and Shakespeare. Experience the toe-tapping tunes of live jazz, featuring the melodious compositions of John Allee, perfectly harmonizing with a lively staged reading of Shakespeare’s comedic masterpiece, Twelfth Night.

Shakespeare’s plays sparkled with music and The Ebell gets to celebrate the Bard’s 460th birthday with a delightful “concert” reading of the beloved comedy. Twelfth Night combines love, confusion, mistaken identities, and joyful discovery. Viola, separated from her twin Sebastian, dresses as a boy and works for the Duke Orsino, whom she falls in love with. Orsino is in love with the Countess Olivia, and sends Viola to court her for him, but Olivia falls for Viola instead. But it all ends well in the end, we promise!
