Twelfth Night
For Christmas at the Barbican, the RSC’s recent hit production of Twelfth Night will transfer to London, once again directed by Prasanna Puwanarajah.
Featuring original music composed by singer-songwriter Matt Maltese, Shakespeare’s bittersweet winter masterpiece is a freewheeling miracle of farce, longing, love and life.
The production will once again star Samuel West (All Creatures Great and Small, Slow Horses) as Malvolio, Freema Agyeman (Jamie Lloyd’s Romeo and Juliet, God of Carnage, Doctor Who) as Olivia and Michael Grady-Hall (Two Gentlemen of Verona, Oppenheimer) as Feste, with further casting to be announced.
The show is designed by James Cotterill, with lighting design by Zoe Spurr, sound design by George Dennis, movement direction by Polly Bennett, and casting by Matthew Dewsbury CDG.
Twelfth Night will play at the Barbican Theatre from 8 December 2025 to 17 January 2026.
