Very much worth a look. Six actors and the Count Orsino is a Countess so to speak and it works a great. If you have a young teenager who needs a shot of Shakespeare then this is perfect. Singing and joking and audience participation all skilfully and energetically carried out. And the moment , when the twins meet at the end, just as moving as in any much more financially endowed production. Oh, and sign language which is integrated into the dialogue.

This was great fun, limited cast meant you had to be on your toes, definitely Shakespeare without pretentions with a musical score to be savoured.
Quite a few children in tonight and the cast made them feel included from the start with one young girl becoming Orsinia as the limited cast coped with the reconciliation of the multitude of twins.
Maybe not for the purist, perfect for a wet winters evening.
