Join us for one of William Shakespeare’s most delightful comedies, Twelfth Night, the story of shipwrecked Viola, who disguises herself as her lost twin brother, and navigates between the courts of the lovesick Duke Orsino and the grieving Countess Olivia. This lighthearted story of love, pranks, and mistaken identities will be a summer delight for all. The play will be performed atop the English gardens and staged with the majestic backdrop of Salisbury House for five summer evenings, July 19-23. Gates open at 6:00 pm for seating. Nightly performances begin at 7:30 p.m. with one 20-minute intermission. 

Plastic lawn chairs are provided, however you may bring your own bag chairs or a small blanket. Blanket spaces are very limited and allowed in designated areas only. All seating and blanket areas are first-come-first-served. If you require Accessible Seating please click on the Frequently Asked Questions link below. 

Picnics are welcome, however RED WINE IS NOT PERMITTED. If red wine was to accidentally spill on the historic pathways or terrace it would stain the stone. As part of our fundraising efforts for the event, we will be selling wine (by the glass or bottle), beer, hard cider, water and soda. Ice Cream will also be available for a $5 minimum donation while supplies last. Cash and credit cards accepted.
