Filter's Twelfth Night, directed by Sean Holmes
Filter's Twelfth Night, directed by Sean Holmes, premiered in The Cube at the RST as part of the Complete Works Festival. It now returns for just one, late night, public performance. Following sell out performances in London and at the Edinburgh Festival, this offers audiences the opportunity to catch this acclaimed production and see how it has grown and developed since November 2006.
The stage is a mess of cables and equipment, the text is abridged and performance decisions are made on the hoof. The worlds of the show are created with an on-stage fusion of live and recorded music with naturalistic and stylised physical movement. This live chemistry between the actor, the text and the sound is a vital and exhilarating aspect of Filter's shows.
'Filter's sheer boldness of invention, its ground-breaking use of sound, makes it a company to watch'
Evening Standard
'The cumulative sensory assault often feels more like being at a rock concert than at the theatre'
Independent
Twelfth Night plays for one performance at The Courtyard Theatre, Stratford-upon-Avon on 7 November 2008.
