ENJOY a night of theatre under the skies at the Maumbury Rings.

Rain or Shine Theatre Company are set to delight family audiences this summer when their production of Shakespeare’s cross-gartered and hilarious cross-dressing comedy Twelfth Night comes to Dorchester.

The event will be held under the skies at the Maumbury Rings on June 25 at 7pm.

The production promises to transport audiences to a land where nothing is quite what it seems.

Have you ever found yourself in yourself in a strange place, surrounded by strange people, taking extraordinary measures to find your way? That’s the situation Viola finds herself in when, shipwrecked and separated from her brother, she sets foot upon Illyria’s sandy shore. Lost and alone, she disguises herself as a man and sets forth.

Before long, chaos ensues as mistaken identity, love and pride set a host of much loved characters on a series of hilarious adventures. Shakespeare fans can bring along low-backed seating or rugs, and a picnic to maximise enjoyment of the al fresco performance.
