A Shakespearean Treat!
Reviewed on
It was wonderful to be able to enjoy Twelfth Night on a glorious summer’s evening. The cast performed with skill and enthusiasm. I loved the fact that much of it was spoken with a Scottish accent!
The only negative was the acoustics. Not all of the actors were able to project their voices far enough.
