'What country, friends, is this?'

At a moonlit cafe surrounded by the sea, Olivia sings a lament to her lost brother, watched on by faded crowd.

When a shipwreck catapults Viola into their world of abandoned festivities, a web of disguise and deception begins. This new injection of life rocks this melancholic community to the core, but can she finally shake them from their languor and get the party started again?

Set against the heat of the Mediterranean sun, Shakespeare’s comedy of mistaken identities is a glorious celebration of love. Directed by Owen Horsley (Henry VI: Rebellion, Wars of the Roses, Royal Shakespeare Company) in a marriage of happiness, nostalgia and riotous partying.

STAR SPOTTING IN LONDON'S WEST END!

So where is the best place to go when star spotting in London's West End?  You can shell out a wad of cash to get into a hot London nightclub perhaps - there's always likely to be someone kinda famous knocking back the shots in Mahiki or China White's at the weekend.
