Where: St Martin's Lane, WC2N 5AU

What: A monsoon on the arabian sea wrecks a ship on the rocks. Twins Viola and Sebastian, are separated, and when Viola is eventually washed ashore on the island of Illyria the complications begin.

This new production of Shakespeare’s comedy transposes the action from Illyria to contemporary India. The creative team have chosen India, as “the place which most closely resembles Shakespeare’s London today”. With its honour codes, the rules of marriage, holy men, beliefs and the significance of festival, the Indian setting is intended to find a fresh, contemporary relevance for the world of the play.
