Twelfth Night

Propeller is an all-male Shakespeare company which mixes a rigorous approach to the text with a modern physical aesthetic. They look for as many ways as possible to inform the physical life of the production with the poetry of the text, giving as much control as possible to the actor in telling the story. Over the last fifteen years, Propeller has performed Shakespeare in over twenty two countries. In 2011 Propeller reached nearly one hundred thousand people worldwide.

Propeller's production of Twelfth Night at Hampstead Theatre is an accomplished and immaculately presented kind of Shakespeare - it really is very funny. Propeller is an all-male Shakespeare company, so while they are guaranteed a few titters from the presence of 6ft men dressed in frilly ensembles, they have stayed true to Twelfth Night's origins as a comedy
