A Jazz musical based on Shakespeare’s “Twelfth Night”
What does it take for a woman to make it in a man’s world?
Play On! is set in the jazz scene of New York’s Cotton Club. This stylish retelling of Shakespeare’s Twelfth Night, directed by Talawa’s Artistic Director Michael Buffong (A Kind of People, Royal Court; All My Sons, Talawa and Royal Exchange) fuses the thrilling music of Duke Ellington with street dance choreography.
Prepare to be wowed by this musical spectacular that will have your toes tapping and hands clapping along with the timeless soundtrack.
Play On! is a family friendly musical with themes of romance. The content is appropriate for both adults and children. As the show features loud live music and strobe lighting, we would advise parents to use their discretion in deciding whether or not to bring young children.
