Twelfth Night in the open air

Twelfth Night is a fun play. Written in 1601, I am always amazed at how Shakespeare's work can last the test of time and can still be as funny after hundreds of years of cultural change.

He released the single for Macmillan Cancer Support after he lost his Grandparents to cancer all he want to do is give a little back to a charity that help him through a really rough time.
