Liverpool’s PurpleCoat are hitting the road next month after they take Shakespeare’s Twelfth Night on tour across the U.K. and Ireland. Supported by Stephen Fry, the R.S.C. and National Theatre, and well into development of their first feature film, this will be PurpleCoat’s first tour.

Twelfth Night is one of Shakespeare’s most bittersweet comedies, memorably performed recently for the re-opening of the Liverpool Everyman. PurpleCoat’s production, set within a heavily influenced 90’s Benidorm-esque seaside resort, aims to discover the play from a whole new direction as it tours cities including Dublin, Birmingham, Stratford and London.
