The full company for Shakespeare in the Park: Twelfth Night, has been announced.
The final standard production of 2024/25 for the Sheffield University Theatre Company (SUTCo), the group’s annual charity production, is set to be staged in Crookes Valley Park on May 10th and 11th.
It is the first SUTCo production in several years to include a live band as part of the company, the final cohort to be revealed.
The classic Shakespearean play follows young Viola, shipwrecked in the unknown realm of Illyria, wherein she disguises herself as a man to become closer with Olivia, the daughter of a late count.
The production contains members from every previous SUTCo company since the group’s Much Ado About Nothing performance in 2022, totalling 23 productions, all united in one company.
The production, which will be the group’s seventh this academic year, is the final SUTCo show to be staged before the biannual Edinburgh Fringe Festival production, heading to the Scottish capital in August.
With less than one week until SUTCo take to the stage again, it is a prime opportunity to take a break from revision and enjoy the sun, with a little bit of Shakespeare, and a big bit of fun!
