EASTNOR CASTLE HOSTS
‘TWELFTH NIGHT’ -
A Night of Cross-Dressing and Stockings!
 The Lord Chamberlain’s Men return to Eastnor Castle, near Ledbury on Friday 24th July with Shakespeare’s romantic summer comedy of mistaken identity, infatuation and broken hearts.
Originally commissioned by none other than Queen Elizabeth I to celebrate the festival of Twelfth Night, the play has always been one of Shakespeare’s funniest and most popular comedies, with plenty of cross-dressing shenanigans and deserved comeuppance all round.
The terrace at Eastnor Castle provides the perfect setting overlooking the lake and is an excellent opportunity for a picnic with friends and family. This timeless tale of magic and comedy in beautiful surroundings, and performed in the unique style offers a theatrical experience not to be missed.
