Expect sword fights, mistaken identities, forbidden love, and plenty of laughs in this enchanting celebration of theatre. Our outdoor performances provide the perfect backdrop to bring Shakespeare’s world to life, blending historical accuracy with imaginative flair.

One of Shakespeare's best loved comedies this outdoor theatre production performed by Folksy Theatre Company promises yet another wonderfully entertaining evening on the idyllic village green in Whorlton village.

Shipwrecked and separated from her twin brother, Viola disguises herself as a man and becomes entwined in a hilarious love triangle. Serving Duke Orsino, who secretly loves Countess Olivia, Viola finds herself in a twist when Olivia falls for her in her disguise!

Amidst the comedic chaos of mistaken identities, meet the drunken Sir Toby Belch, the pompous Malvolio, and enjoy a lively atmosphere filled with fun and live music. Bursting with romance and laughter, "Twelfth Night" is a whirlwind of mistaken identities and joyful endings!

Folksy Theatre are a not-for-profit, rural touring theatre company, who specialise in Shakespeare productions. They use a mix of live music and audience interaction to bring their productions to life and make them accessible to everyone.
