Reviews
​
‘The company is brilliant. Girvan engages her actors and builds a dynamic and bubbly show… An exciting and appealing production, it's safe to say that this Twelfth Night is certainly bound to bewitch audiences that span all ages.’
Broadway World, 5/5
‘Fuelled with incredible energy and creating a colourful scenario, Twelfth Night at Southwark Playhouse is one of those Shakespearean productions that stands out for its vibe and originality.’
The Upcoming 5/5
​
‘this production provides enough cheerful humour and scrappy exuberance to create a joyous evening’s entertainment.’
Britishtheatre.com 4/5
​
‘In the almost relentless happiness and joy of this version, the weeping mask of theatre is rarely worn. Fresh, modern and a tad barmy, the charm and wit of this lively production is to be enjoyed with the spirit that goes with a celebratory atmosphere.’
LondonTheatre1, 4/5
​
‘creatively and delightfully handled by Girvan - this is a warmly affectionate production that celebrates inclusivity and is wonderfully entertaining from beginning to end.’
LoveLondonLoveCulture, 4/5
​
‘director Anna Girvan making the most of the comedy to be found in the script that has been nicely condensed into 90 minutes of pure joy.’
MyTheatreMates, 4/5
​
‘Overall it is a wholehearted performance from all the cast and a nonsensical night at the theatre. A great way to see your first Shakespeare to make sense of the tricky language and a very good laugh.’
A Younger Theatre
​
‘This rendition of Twelfth Night was beautifully directed by Anna Girvan, reinvented with a festival vibe and live music on stage.’
The Live Review
​
‘With its majority female cast and playful tone, this show does one thing so many productions of Shakespeare fail to do: it makes the text accessible and clear.’
