RSC- First Encounters: Twelfth Night

Shipwrecked and separated from her twin brother, Viola washes up on a strange shore and into an even stranger situation. Disguising herself as a man called Cesario, Viola finds work with Duke Orsino, only to fall head over heels in love with him. But Orsino is in love with Olivia, who is grieving for her brother and refusing all offers of romance.

Until, that is, she sees Cesario for the first time!
Add one ambitious butler and some practical joking servants and you have a hugely entertaining story of hoaxes, heartbreak and hidden identities.

The Bonington Players: I Am a Camera

‘I am a Camera’ is set in Berlin, just before the Nazis ascend to power in Berlin. Chris, an aspiring novelist from England, meets flamboyant cabaret entertainer Sally Bowles and an unusual friendship is born. As Sally feeds her extravagant tastes, Chris goes along for the ride, until their Jewish pal, Fritz, encounters trouble.

The play, by John Van Druten, is based on the memoirs of writer Christopher Isherwood and the story served as the inspiration for the acclaimed musical ‘Cabaret’.
