About this show
A one-hour, high-energy Shakespeare Karaoke party. An 80s pop concert accidentally doing Twelfth Night. A love triangle. A power ballad. A room full of people singing along. Reimagines Shakespeare’s Twelfth Night as an anarchic, joyful karaoke gig set in a neon-soaked version of 1980s Illyria.

Twelfth Night – Karaoke Era takes Shakespeare’s romantic comedy and infuses it with an invigorating dose of 1980s pop music. It’s self-aware and camp, and it’s enormous fun.
