Shakespeare's Twelfth Night - Takapuna Grammar School
Takapuna Grammar Performing Arts is performing an outdoor Shakespeare at the end of February.
"It’s our version of Twelfth Night - “if music be the food of love...” you know the one.
And we’re taking liberties with it. We want laughs, even cheap ones, pace and “lively action” – tiktok- worthy gags is a given. The author doesn’t mind.
Our students enjoy transforming the bard and speaking his fabulous language. It’s also an opportunity for talented musos to compose settings for the songs and incidental music serving up the food of love. "
